LIFE. -

Why all this toil for triumphs of an hour?

Life's a short Summer, man a flower.

By turns we catch the vital breath and die

The cradle' and the tomb, alas ! so nigh.

To be, ls;better far than not to be4 v­

Though all man's life may seem a tragedy ;

But light cares speak when mighty griefs are

dumb.

The bottom is but shallow whence they come,

Your fate is but the common fate of all ;

Unmingled joy here to no man befall.

Nature: to each allots Its proper sphere ;

Fortune makes folly her peculiar care.

Custom does often reasou over-rule, :

And throw a cruel sunshine on a fool. ".

Then keep each passion down however dear.

We masters grow of all that we despise.

Oh, then, renounce that Impious self-esteem ;

Riches have wings, and grandeur is a dream.

Think not ambition wise because 'tis brave .:

The paths of glory lead but to the give.

What is ambition? Tlsa glorious cheat­

Only destructive to the brave and great.

W'hat's all the gaudy glitter of a crown ? '

The way to bliss lies not on beds of down.
