| A SLAVE to crowds scorch'd with the summer's heats | C |
| In courts the wretched lawyer toils and sweats | D |
| While smiling Nature in her best attire | E |
| Regales each sense and vernal joys inspire | F |
| Can he who knows that real good should please | G |
| Barter for gold his liberty and ease | G |
| This Paulus preach'd When entering at the door | H |
| Upon his board the client pours the ore | H |
| He grasps the shining gift pores o'er the cause | I |
| Forgets the sun and dozes on the laws | J |
