Those that much covet are with gain so fond, For what they have not, that which they possessThey scatter and unloose it from their bond, And so, by hoping more, they have but less; Or, gaining more, the profit of excessIs but to surfeit, and such griefs sustain, That they prove bankrupt in this poor-rich gain.
