epigram on rough roads

　　i'm now arrived—thanks to the gods!—

　　thro' pathways rough and muddy,

　　a certain sign that makin roads

　　is no this people's study:

　　altho' im not wi' scripture cram'd,

　　i'm sure the bible says

　　that heedless sinners shall be damn'd,

　　unless they mend their ways.
