Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The English Dance of Death, Vol. 2: From the Designs of Thomas Rowlandson English Dance of Death And ev´ry day and ev´ry hour May yield him to the Tyrant´s power. While hanging on his mother´s breast, Nourish´d and fondled and carest, How oft he mocks the tender care That dotes as he is clinging there: He scarce moans forth one feeble cry, And his first morrow sees him die: Nay, e´er his eyes behold the sun, Perhaps his puny race is run. If Death could feel, its stem decree Would spare our prattling Infancy: That age whose looks, whose words dispense Th attractive charms of Innocence; That April morn on which appears The blended scene of smiles and tears, Whose pantomimic grace affords The meaning of half utter´d words: But Infancy´s enchanting smile Does not th´ unpitying power beguile; For when the fatal arrow flies, The prattlers dumb, - the Cherub dies. Nor yet when Reason´s dawning hour Beams on the mind its rip´ning power, About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
