Had I not This or This I saidB
Appealing to MyselfC
In moment of prosperityD
Inadequate were LifeE

Thou hast not Me nor Me it saidB
In Moment of ReverseF
And yet Thou art industriousG
No need hadst Thou of usG

My need was all I had I saidB
The need did not reduceH
Because the food exterminateI
The hunger does not ceaseJ

But diligence is sharperK
Proportioned to the ChanceL
To feed upon the RetrogradeM
Enfeebles the AdvanceL
