A Country Friend demands, <br>Who scarce cou'd live on Product of his Lands. <br>How is it that, when Trading is so bad <br>That some are Broke, and some with Fears run Mad, <br>You can in better State yourself maintain, <br>And your Effects still unimpair'd remain! <br>My Industry, he cries, is all the Cause; <br>Sometimes I interlope, and slight the Laws; <br>I wiser Measures, than my Neighbors, take, <br>And better speed, who better Bargains make. <br>I knew, the Smyrna–Fleet wou'd fall a Prey, <br>And therefore sent no Vessel out that way: <br>My busy Factors prudently I chuse, <br>And in streight Bonds their Friends and Kindred noose: <br>At Home, I to the Publick Sums advance, <br>Whilst, under-hand in Fee with hostile France, <br>I care not for your Tourvills, or Du-Barts, <br>No more than for the Rocks, and Shelves in Charts: <br>My own sufficiency creates my Gain, <br>Rais'd, and secur'd by this unfailing Brain. <br>This idle Vaunt had scarcely past his Lips, <br>When Tydings came, his ill-provided Ships <br>Some thro' the want of Skill, and some of Care, <br>Were lost, or back return'd without their Fare. <br>From bad to worse, each Day his State declin'd, <br>'Till leaving Town, and Wife, and Debts behind,<br>To his Acquaintance at the Rural Seat <br>He Sculks, and humbly sues for a Retreat. <br>Whence comes this Change, has Wisdom left that Head, <br>(His Friend demands) where such right Schemes were bred? <br>What Phrenzy, what Delirium mars the Scull, <br>Which fill'd the Chests, and was it self so full? <br>Here interrupting, sadly he Reply'd, <br>In Me's no Change, but Fate must all Things guide; <br>To Providence I attribute my Loss.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">Vain-glorious Man do's thus the Praise engross, <br>When Prosp'rous Days around him spread their Beams: <br>But, if revolv'd to opposite Extreams, <br>Still his own Sence he fondly will prefer, <br>And Providence, not He, in his Affairs must Err!</div><div style="margin:10px 0"><br /></a><br />poem by <a href="http://en.citatepedia.ro/by.php?a=Anne+Kingsmill+Finch">Anne Kingsmill Finch</a><div class=q>
