Deign on the passing world to turn thine eyes, And pause a while from learning to be wise. There mark what ills the scholar's life assail, Toil, envy, want, the patron, and the jail. (Samuel Johnson)

Deign on the passing world to turn thine eyes, And pause a while from learning to be wise. There mark what ills the scholar's life assail, Toil, envy, want, the patron, and the jail.
