EPIGRAM CCXC.
[T'express how oft th' apparent weak]
ESTO PERPETUA.
T'express how oft th' apparent weak,
Outlive the seeming strong,
We say, in metaphor when we speak,
“The creaking hinge lasts long.”
Outlive the seeming strong,
We say, in metaphor when we speak,
“The creaking hinge lasts long.”
381
Think on what terms cross Clodius then,
His lease of being holds!—
Disgusted still with things and men,
Who but exists, and scolds!
His lease of being holds!—
Disgusted still with things and men,
Who but exists, and scolds!
Fortune, by one of her odd strokes,
To him two tenures gives;
He's sure of living, while he croaks;
And croaking, while he lives!
To him two tenures gives;
He's sure of living, while he croaks;
And croaking, while he lives!
