“'Tis mighty easy o'er a glass of wineOn vain refinements vainly to refine,To laugh at poverty in plenty's reign,To boast of apathy when out of pain,And in each sentence, worthy of the schools,Varnish'd with sophistry, to deal out rulesMost fit for practice, but for one poor fault,That into practice they can ne'er be brought.”
