text_original: Ah! could early man, or late, Set his ways, or Nature's, straight, Who life's stream doth careless pour, Lets the cup brim o'er and o'er, Who will drink, or, drinking, dream, With the chosen skim the cream, Struggle with the ravening swine, For residue, or helpless whine, Lazarus at Dives' gate, Dives at his feast of state, Rising with a hungry heart, As, one by one, life's guests depart.
