 | Medulla Poetarum Romanorum |  |
End. Purpose of Life.
Hast Thou not yet propos'd some certain End,
To which thy Life, thy ev'ry Act may tend?
Hast Thou no Mark, at which to bend thy Bow?
Or like a Boy pursu'st the Carrion Crow
With Pellets, or with Stones, from Tree to Tree,
A fruitless Toil, and liv'st Extempore.—
To which thy Life, thy ev'ry Act may tend?
Hast Thou no Mark, at which to bend thy Bow?
Or like a Boy pursu'st the Carrion Crow
With Pellets, or with Stones, from Tree to Tree,
A fruitless Toil, and liv'st Extempore.—
