ODE II. To Caius Sallust Crispus.

My Sallust's generous Thoughts disdain
The sordid Miser's hoarded Gain;
Since Silver with no Lustre glows,
But what a moderate Use bestows.
Good Proculeïus' honour'd Name
Shall mount upon the Wings of Fame;
Who, with a Father's tender Heart,
Did to his Brothers Aid impart.
Subdue but Avarice, you'll find
More wide this Empire of the Mind,
Than could You Libya join to Spain,
And o'er each Carthage Monarch reign.
Indulg'd, the Dropsy swells within;
The watry Humour puffs the Skin;
Nor can th'impatient Thirst be quell'd,
Unless the Cause is first expell'd.
148

Virtue, dissenting, will not own
Phraätes, on the Parthian Throne,
Completely blest: Her Voice disclaims
The popular Abuse of Names:
To those alone, who Wealth contemn,
She gives the Wreath, and Diadem;
To those alone, who Heaps of Gold,
With undesiring Eyes behold.
