The maid that loves goes out to sea upon a shattered plank, and puts her trust in miracles for safety.
Beautiful as sweet, And young as beautiful, and soft as young, And gay as soft, and innocent as gay!
What tender force, what dignity divine, what virtue consecrating every feature; around that neck what dross are gold and pearl!
Where boasting ends, there dignity begins.
Mine is the night, with all her stars.
Praise, more divine than prayer; prayer points our ready path to heaven; praise is already there.
Leisure is pain; take off our chariot wheels; how heavily we drag the load of life!
They only babble who practise not reflection
Some for renown, on scraps of learning dote, And think they grow immortal as they quote.
In youth, what disappointments of our own making: in age, what disappointments from the nature of things.
Age should fly concourse, cover in retreat defects of judgment, and the will subdue; walk thoughtful on the silent, solemn shore of that vast ocean it must sail so soon.
They build too low who build beneath the skies.
And all may do what has by man been done.
Each moment has its sickle, emulous Of Time's enormous scythe, whose ample sweep Strikes empires from the root.
