TO A MILLIONAIRE THREAD MANUFACTURER.—(Since Bankrupt.)

Your fortune, I am told, is vast,
Your acres widely spread;
But how can that fair fortune last,
That hangs but by a thread?

Ah, it will soon no record leave,
Bound by that feeble band;
Unless the thread to which you cleave,
Is held by God's own hand.
