On a Covetous Man.

Mart. Lib. 4. Ep. 40.

When Heaven to You a small Estate did lend,
You kept your Coach and Footmen did attend:
But when blind Fortune had your Store increas'd,
And ten times doubled what You had at least:
Your Narrow Soul, contracted with the Store,
Lost all the Pleasure, it did tast before.
71

A Curse into your Treasures Heaven did put;
You groan'd beneath their weight, and went afoot.
For all your Merits what doth then remain;
But that we pray, Heaven send your Coach again?
