THE RACE OF LIFE,
AN EPIGRAM.
The old have liv'd, and so may live the young,How sad when either have surviv'd too long!
The youth invidious aims the hoary stake,
Yet view'd the goal, would willingly draw back:
“Push on,” says Death, “your mandature is past,
“The last in starting, is the first at last!”
