If I am never tempted, and cannot even imagine [myself being tempted, to gamble],
this does not mean that I am better than those //who are.
[The timidity and pessimism //which exempt me from that temptation themselves]
tempt me to draw back /from those risks and adventures //which every man ought to take.
* 목적인 동명사구 [myself being tempted, to gamble] 에서 myself 는 my 대신 쓰인 것으로 보임
참고로 imagine은 동명사를 목적으로 취함
