A Miser is an Enemy to Mankind; for how can be feel
for others who is ever cruel to himself? His breast
is steeled against Humanity: His Heart knows
no Mirth; nor does the Tear of Sensibility
bedew his Cheek. Gold. that's a Blessing
to others, to him doth prove a Curse:
Care torments him, and he
has no Comforter.
O'KEEFFE.
