Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Works of the Author of the Night-Thoughts, Vol. 4 of 4 Warn´d by the languor of life´s evening ray, At length have hous´d me in an humble shed; Where, future wand´ring banish´d from my thought, And waiting, patient, the sweet hour of rest, I chase the moments with a serious song. Song sooths our pains; and age has pains to sooth. When age, care, crime, and friends embrac´d at heart, Torn from my bleeding breast, and death´s dark shade, Which hovers o´er me, qoench th´ ethereal fire; Canst thou, O Night! indulge one labour more? One labour more indulge! then sleep, my strain! Till, haply, wak´d by Raphael´s golden lyre, Where night, death, age, care, crime, and sorrow, cease; To bear a part in everlasting lays; Though far, far higher set, in aim, I trust, Symphonious to this humble prelude here, Has not the muse asserted pleasures pure, Like those above; exploding other joys? Weigh what was urg´d, Lorenzo! fairly weigh; And tell me, hast thou cause to triumph still? I think, thou wilt forbear a boast so bold. But if, beneath the favour of mistake, Thy smile´s sincere; not more sincere can be Lorenzo´s smile, than my compassion for him. The sick in body call for aid; the sick In mind are covetous of more disease; And when at worst, they dream themselves quite well. To know ourselves diseas´d, is half our cure. When nature blush by custom is wip´d off, And conscience, deaden´d by repeated strokes, About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
