   He lived with Dives and the scriptures shew,
   He but involved him in eternal woe,
   And may others who did him enjoy
   Their happiness we know he did destroy.

   Sure when I come to my latter end
   I fear he'd prove to be a weakly friend
   For when pale death does enter riche's door,
   Can ge one moment's respire then procure.

   No he must surely then yield to his fate,
   Suppose that he had kingdoms large and great;
   Oft where he comes I hear the people say
   He makes himself wings and flies away.

   Riches is a blessing if they are right us'd
   But proves a curse when they do be abus'd
   Wise providence did not allow I'm sure
   All to be rich, nor yet all to be poor.
