bankrupt quotes

Why should he, with wealth and honour blest, Refuse his age the needful hours of rest? Punish a body which he could not please; Bankrupt of life, yet prodigal of ease? And all to leave what with his toil he won To that unfeathered two-legged thing, a son.

-John Dryden
Absalom and  Achitophel, pt.1, l.165^70.
