W: 2 The pleasures of summer you see, and enjoy,
W: For me want and blindness those pleasures destroy:
W: You've Joys too, in winter; but I, to my cost,
W: Know winter alone, by the smart of its frost!
W: \t \t My story &c.

W: 3 I once knew, though blind I now wretchedly stray,
W: The comforts of wealth, and the blessings of day;
W: A Parents fond care then enlighten'd my mind,
W: Whence keener afflictions, alas! I now find.

W: Ah! look on my years- it must surely prevail:
W: My tears kindly dry; and oh, may ye ne'er know,
W: The horrors of want,or the heart ach of woe!
W: \t \t My story &c.
