An Epistle in Verse, occasioned by the death of James Boswell, Esquire | ||
Passion and imitation, hope and fear
Of high enjoyment, or of ills severe,
From dying man his dissolution hide:
He sinks or floats in Dissipation's tide;
And, lost to every great and manly scheme,
His life becomes a trifle, or a dream.
Of high enjoyment, or of ills severe,
From dying man his dissolution hide:
He sinks or floats in Dissipation's tide;
And, lost to every great and manly scheme,
His life becomes a trifle, or a dream.
