Democritus, dear droll, revisit earth, <br />And with our follies glut thy heighten'd mirth: <br />Sad Heraclitus, serious wretch, return, <br />In louder grief our greater crimes to mourn, <br />Between you both I unconcern'd stand by; <br />Hurt can I lauh? and honest need I cry?<br /><br />Matthew Prior<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/democritus-and-heraclitus/
