But wealth is crime enough to him that's poor.
Cooper's Hill (1642)
Variety, which all the rest endears.
Cooper's Hill (1642)
Though with those streams he no resemblance hold,
Whose foam is amber and their gravel gold;
His genuine and less guilty wealth t' explore,
Search not his bottom, but survey his shore.
Cooper's Hill (1642)
Oh, could I flow like thee, and make thy stream
My great example, as it is my theme!
Though deep, yet clear; though gentle, yet not dull;
Strong without rage; without o'erflowing, full.
Cooper's Hill (1642)
