The gamester, having observed the happy wife and well-ordered home of others, suffers regret; yet inthe forenoon he puts to the tawny steeds, and at night the sinner lies down by the fire.
Sad is the gambler when he sees a matron, another's wife, and his well-ordered dwelling. He yokes the brown steeds in the early morning, and when the fire is cold sinks down an outcast.
