Poems on several subjects | ||
To my young Reader.
Dear child, pray hearken unto me,
And these few verses hear;
For in them you will shortly see
How you the Lord should fear.
And these few verses hear;
For in them you will shortly see
How you the Lord should fear.
Remember thy Creator great,
While in your youth and prime,
While evils come not; lest too late
You mourn the loss of time.
While in your youth and prime,
While evils come not; lest too late
You mourn the loss of time.
These, and such like, are better far
To store your memory,
Than smutty idle stories are,
That now too common be.
To store your memory,
Than smutty idle stories are,
That now too common be.
ALEX. NICOL.
