William Cowper
26 November 1731 – 25 April 1800 / Hertfordshire
On Late Acquired Wealth (From The Greek)
LIKE THIS POEM
Poor in my youth, and in life's later scenes
Rich to no end, I curse my natal hour,
Who nought enjoy'd while young, denied the means;
And nought when old enjoy'd, denied the power.
