EPISTLE IV. To Albius Tibullus.

He extolls his good Qualities, and from the Consideration of the Uncertainty of Life, advises him to make the most of the present Time.

Tibullus , candid Critic of my Lays,
Say, how at Pedum pass your vacant Days?
Are you in Works engag'd, that will outvie
The Tuscan Bard's, or do you lonely fly
To the sequester'd Silence of a Wood,
Musing on what becomes the Wise and Good?
A Soul informs your Clay. Indulgent Heaven
To You has Beauty, Wealth, and Prudence given.
What can a Mother wish her Son but Sense,
And, to express it, manly Eloquence;
To live esteem'd by all, with Credit, Health,
Neatness of Fare, and Competence of Wealth?
Perplex'd by Hopes and Fears, by Care and Strife,
Think every Day the Period of your Life.

346

Time unexpected will be Gain. You'll find
Me, when with Smiles you would relax your Mind,
Well-cas'd with Fat, with Skin most sleek and fine,
One of the Herd of Epicurus' Swine.
