LINES ON ED. NUCELLA, ESQ., ÆT. 75.
DANCES; GOES LONG JOURNEYS; AND WALKS SIX MILES AN HOUR FOR TWO HOURS DAILY.
See the spirit and the vigourOf an aged hearty figure,
Fit to dance and fit to sing,
Fit for any kind of thing,
To be sober, to be sad,
To be merry, to be mad;
Never weary or afraid,
Undejected, undismayed,
With a manner and a tone,
A demeanour of his own,
Like a former age reviving,
Lingering among the living.
1833.
