O son of mine I wish thee not great wealth This is first line. Could anyone let me know the author or title?

Hi John,

How wise of you to pose this question as you have. As you might recall I have browsed through more poetry anthologies than I care to recall and regularly google the opening line in the hope that I might discover its provenance.

Sorry I do not have the answer but will step out of the equation now as if an answer is to be found it will be through here.

Cheers

Kevin Hewitt
