haud curat HippoclidesA
ERASM AdagB

-
To those we love we've drank tonightC
But now attend and stare notD
While I the ampler list reciteC
Of those for whom WE CARE NOTD
-
For royal men howe'er they frownE
If on their fronts they bear notD
That noblest gem that decks a crownE
The People's Love WE CARE NOTD
-
For slavish men who bend beneathF
A despot yoke yet dare notD
Pronounce the will whose very breathG
Would rend its links WE CARE NOTD
-
For priestly men who covet swayH
And wealth tho' they declare notD
Who point like finger posts the wayH
They never go WE CARE NOTD
-
For martial men who on their swordI
Howe'er it conquers wear notD
The pledges of a soldier's wordJ
Redeemed and pure WE CARE NOTD
-
For legal men who plead for wrongB
And tho' to lies they swear notD
Are hardly better than the throngB
Of those who do WE CARE NOTD
-
For courtly men who feed uponK
The land like grubs and spare notD
The smallest leaf where they can sunL
Their crawling limbs WE CARE NOTD
-
For wealthy men who keep their minesA
In darkness hid and share notD
The paltry ore with him who pinesA
In honest want WE CARE NOTD
-
For prudent men who hold the powerM
Of Love aloof and bare notD
Their hearts in any guardless hourM
To Beauty's shaft WE CARE NOTD
-
For all in short on land or seaA
In camp or court who are notD
Who never were or e'er will beA
Good men and true WE CARE NOTD
