As is a slave by his intended bidder. 'T is pleasant purchasing our fellow-creatures; And all are to be sold, if you consider Their passions, and are dext'rous; some by features Are bought up, others by a warlike leader, Some by a place--as tend their years or natures: The most by ready cash--but all have prices, From crowns to kicks, according to their vices.
