“Curst be the Gold and Silver which persuade
Weak Men to follow far-fatiguing Trade!
The Lilly-Peace outshines the silver Store,
And Life is dearer than the golden Ore.
Yet Money tempts us o'er the Desert brown,
To ev'ry distant Mart and wealthy Town:
Full oft we tempt the Land and Sea;
And are we only yet repay'd by Thee?
Ah! why was Ruin so attractive made,
Or why fond Man so easily betrayed?
-Eclogue the Second. Hassan; or the Camel-driver”
