  'Night' (1761) l. 311

  Charles Churchill, Robert Southey (1854). “The Poetical Works of Charles Churchill: With Copious Notes and a Life of the Author”, p.177

• Satire, whilst envy and ill-humor sway
  The mind of man, must always make her way;
  Nor to a bosom, with discretion fraught,
  Is all her malice worth a single thought.
  The wise have not the will, nor fools the power,
  To stop her headstrong course; within the hour
  Left to herself, she dies; opposing strife
  Gives her fresh vigor, and prolongs her life.

  Charles Churchill

  Charles Churchill, “The Author”

• The villager, born humbly and bred hard,
  Content his wealth, and poverty his guard,
  In action simply just, in conscience clear,
  By guilt untainted, undisturb'd by fear,
  His means but scanty, and his wants but few,
  Labor his business, and his pleasure too,
  Enjoys more comforts in a single hour
  Than ages give the wretch condemn'd to power.
