Unpaid Work
He hit the world's taste, and for what he gave
It more than paid him—fame and fortune squander'd.
He overdid its taste—became its slave;
It bought him, and he pander'd.
'Tis well to be repaid for what you give:
To work unpaid, for love of work, is better—
Bestowing all for nothing while you live—
And leave the world your debtor.
It more than paid him—fame and fortune squander'd.
He overdid its taste—became its slave;
It bought him, and he pander'd.
'Tis well to be repaid for what you give:
To work unpaid, for love of work, is better—
Bestowing all for nothing while you live—
And leave the world your debtor.
