The MORAL.
‘Since here we daily Revolutions see,‘And cannot dive into Futurity;
277
‘And, unprovided for a Fall, aspire?
‘Extreams are short-liv'd, and, from Heights of Bliss,
‘We may be plung'd in Sorrow's deep Abyss.
‘A Steady Mind is always on its Guard,
‘And for a Change, in ev'ry State, prepar'd:
‘Hopes for a Calm, when most with Storms oppress'd;
‘And looks for Storms, when with a Calm 'tis bless'd!
