For who would bear the whips aud soorns

That patient merit of tbe nnwortbv takes,
When he himself might his quietus make
With a bare bodkin? who would fardels bear.
To grunt and sweat under a weary life.

No traveler returns, puzzles the will,
And makes ns rather bear those ills we have
Than fly to others that we know not of?
