When his affairs go on most swimmingly,

E'en then it most behoves to arm himself

Against the coming storm: loss, danger, exile;
Returning, let him ever look to meet

But if

His son in fault, wife dead, or daughter sick-
All common accidents, and may have happened;
That nothing should seem new or strange.
Aught has fall'n out beyond his hopes, all that
Let him account clear gain."-(George Colman.)
