[See the fruit of worldly cares!]

They that will [Gr. are willing to] be rich fall, &c. —vi. 9.

See the fruit of worldly cares!
They that will be rich or great
Fall into ten thousand snares,
Fall at last into the pit,
Drown'd in bottomless perdition,
Cursed with their own heart's desire,
Banish'd from the blissful vision,
Plunged in everlasting fire!
