[Unhappy VVretch, by Chance and Bounty Fed]

Unhappy VVretch, by Chance and Bounty Fed;
To nothing Born, and yet to nothing Bred:
Thou'rt Fortunes Pensioner, whom Men Receive,
Sometimes for Sport, and sometimes to Relieve:
Mechanicks in thy Company look great,
And Magnifie by thee their Happier State.
Each Man that Knows thee doubly Guards his Purse,
Thou'rt like Infection shun'd, and that that's worse,
A Burthen to the VVorld, and to thy self a Curse.
