Poor peoples to destroy?

And caught me splitting wood in the yard,
And one of them put me off my aim
By hailing cheerily “Hit them hard!”

yet the rhythm of those paroxysms is exactly yours.

Kept Waiting!

Wherever I go, danger and difficulty; whatever I do, failure.
Just as in my worldly career I wander and lose the road,
