[Well doth a summer leaf explain]
We fade as the leaf.
—lxiv. 6.
Well doth a summer leaf explain
The transient state of feeble man;
We flourish fair in youthful bloom,
Till age and pallid autumn come;
He comes with sickness at his side,
He withers all our verdant pride;
461
We drop, and crumble into dust.
