Solicits aid sublime:
Then crams himself into a jakes,
To try his hand at rhyme.
Though fond of dear repose;
Careless or drowsy with my friends,
And frolic with my foes.
How friends, solicitous are we,
Weaving with care the silken band
As though 'twas for eternity.
Thy strong solicitations to withstand.
Plenty of work lies ready to my hand,
Which rests irresolute, and lets it lie.
He finds denial vastly sweet:
For self-importance would be wanted,
Were her solicitations granted.
For power and beauty, and your shoes,
Are not to lie by, but to use.
Places for not one-third are found.
The vermin hatch, and become pests,
Sooner than we can find them nests.
Then let solicitations end--
No nest is vacant for your friend."
