Addressed to a Young Man of Fortune by Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Addressed to a Young Man of Fortune Annotated

Hence that fantastic wantonness of woe,
&nbspO Youth to partial Fortune vainly dear!
To plunder'd Want's half-shelter'd hovel go,
&nbspGo, and some hunger-bitten infant hear
&nbspMoan haply in a dying mother's ear:
Or when the cold and dismal fog-damps brood
O'er the rank church-yard with sear elm-leaves strew'd,
Pace round some widow's grave, whose dearer part
&nbspWas slaughter'd, where o'er his uncoffin'd limbs
The flocking flesh-birds scream'd! Then, while thy heart
&nbspGroans, and thine eye a fiercer sorrow dims,
Know (and the truth shall kindle thy young mind)
What Nature makes thee mourn, she bids thee heal!
&nbspO abject! if, to sickly dreams resign'd,
All effortless thou leave Life's commonweal
&nbspA prey to Tyrants, Murderers of Mankind.
