First Line: He who has already much
Last Line: Have a claim for living in it.
Subject(s): Life; Wealth; Riches; Fortunes
HE who has already much,
Finds his wealth increasing faster;
Who but little, is of all
Soon bereft by some disaster.
But if thou hast nothing, friend,
Go and hand thyself this minute;
Only they who've aught on earth
Have a claim for living in it.
