Religion
Matthew 13: Whoe'er for happiness relies
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 10 (1871)
Religion
Whoe'er for happiness relies
On wealth, will never find it there,
But while the flattering shadow flies,
He sinks into the arms of care.
Reposes on a sleepless bed,
Or rests on thorns his aching head.
