From "The EXPLANATION
OF THE PLATES in the Book of Heads entitled
HUMAN PASSIONS DELINEATED": PLATE 37 |
|
|
|
B
|
EHOLD ye worldlings whence true
pleasure springs ;
Not from much wealth, or from the smiles of
kings.
|
A single bottle
sets our minds at rest ;
'Tis not full bags, contentment makes
the feast.
