 1     1|     peerless prey:~Else by long toil I see not what we gain~But
 2     3|        to man:~And they all day toil on, without repose,~Where

 5     9|     Each sleeps, oppressed with toil and wearied sore;~This stretched
 6     9|          Like them by the first toil that springs betrayed;~And
