Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDArt thou some individual of a kind | A |
Long lived by nature as the rook or hind | A |
Heap treasure then for if thy need be such | B |
Thou hast excuse and scarce canst heap too much | B |
But man thou seem'st clear therefore from thy breast | C |
This lust of treasure folly at thy best | C |
For why shouldst thou go wasted to the tomb | D |
To fatten with thy spoils thou know'st not whom | D |
William Cowper
