million (n.)
million (v.)
million (adj.)
Cleon hath a million acres,—ne'er a one have I;
Cleon dwelleth in a palace,—in a cottage I.
That low man seeks a little thing to do,
Sees it and does it;
This high man, with a great thing to pursue,
Dies ere he knows it.
That low man goes on adding one to one,—
His hundred's soon hit;
This high man, aiming at a million,
Misses an unit.
That has the world here—should he need the next,
Let the world mind him!
This throws himself on God, and unperplexed
Seeking shall find him.
The play, I remember, pleased not the million; 't was caviare to the general.
