Cave of Poverty, The - Part 115

O Poverty, thou Theme of lasting Praise!
Thou Jewel, and fair Wealth of Elder Times!
How did'st Thou serve to high Renown to raise
The Heroes of Old Rome , and Graecia 's Climes?
How did'st Thou give the Purple Consul grace,
When from the Plough he rose t' Imperial Place?
