Fond man! the vision of a moment made! Dream of a dream! and shadow of a shade!
Heaven wills our happiness, allows our doom.
Some for renown, on scraps of learning dote, And think they grow immortal as they quote.
Man makes a death which Nature never made. And feels a thousand deaths in fearing one.
A strange alternative * * *Must women have a doctor or a dance?
Where boasting ends, there dignity begins.
