Dare I in fuch momentous points advife, I mould condemn the hoop's enormous fize : Of ills I fpeak by long experience found, Oft' have I trod th' immeafurable round, And mourn'd my fhins bruis'd black with many a wound.
Página 62 - Our own and others' good each hour employ, And all things fmile with univerfal joy ; Virtue with Happinefs her confort join'd, Would regulate and blefs each human mind, And man be what his Maker firft defign'd.
Página 67 - Next morn difowns the lofies of the night, Becaufe the fool would fain be thought a bite. Devoted thus to politics, and cards, Nor mirth, nor wine, nor women he regards ; So far is...
