On the foregoing Epigram.
The Lydian Prince is blam'd for Wealth alone,Tho' greater in his Virtues than his Throne:
The Cynick Churl is prais'd, of Fame secure,
Tho' void of ev'ry Grace, but being poor:
Nor wonder whence this partial Judgement springs,
Such Crowds are envious, and so few are Kings.
