Poor in my youth, and in life's later scenes <br />Rich to no end, I curse my natal hour, <br />Who nought enjoy'd while young, denied the means; <br />And nought when old enjoy'd, denied the power.<br /><br />William Cowper<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/on-late-acquired-wealth-from-the-greek/
