The Harvard Classics.  1909–14.
 
135. 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,        5
  I’m sure the Bible says
That heedless sinners shall be damn’d,
  Unless they mend their ways.
