Avarice
What If you saw a selfish dove
Heap & heap new piles of grain
And While his fellows tried in vain for pity or for love
Or perchance as for love All his fellows tried in vain
He, still adding mound to mound
They all perishing around.
Could you for a moment keep
Indignation from your breast –
Would you not disperse the heap
In an instant to Thus usurped, to all the rest?
Aye! you'll say – but who e'er heard
Of so infamous a bird?
None! too – & yet a learned man
A divine – a bishop too.† † Valey
Ask'd – now answer if you can –
Ask'd, e'en such a man as you
If among the human race
Such flagitious things took place?
