All bounteous Heav'n Castalio cries	A
With bended Knees and lifted Eyes	A
When shall I have the Pow'r to bless	B
And raise up Merit in Distress	B
	-
How do our Hearts deceive us here	C
He gets ten thousand Pounds a Year	D
With this the pious Youth is able	E
To build and plant and keep a Table	E
But then the Poor he must not treat	F
Who asks the Wretch that wants to eat	F
Alas to ease their Woes he wishes	G
But cannot live without Ten Dishes	H
Tho' Six would serve as well 'tis true	I
But one must live as others do	I
He now feels Wants unknown before	J
Wants still increasing with his Store	J
The good Castalio must provide	K
Brocade and Jewels for his Bride	K
Her Toilet shines with Plate emboss'd	L
What Sums her Lace and Linen cost	M
The Cloaths that must his Person grace	N
Shine with Embroidery and Lace	N
The costly Pride of Persian Looms	O
And Guido's Paintings grace his Rooms	O
His Wealth Castalio will not waste	P
But must have ev'ry thing in Taste	P
He's an OEconomist confest	P
But what he buys must be the best	P
For common Use a Set of Plate	P
Old China when he dines in State	P
A Coach and Six to take the Air	Q
Besides a Chariot and a Chair	Q
All these important Calls supply'd	P
Calls of Necessity not Pride	P
His Income's regularly spent	P
He scarcely saves to pay his Rent	P
No Man alive would do more Good	P
Or give more freely if he cou'd	P
He grieves whene'er the Wretched sue	I
But what can poor Castalio do	I
	-
Would Heav'n but send ten thousand more	J
He'd give just as he did before	J
