We wish our names eternally to live; Wild dream! which ne'er had haunted human thought, Had not our natures been eternal too.
Edward YoungYouth is not rich in time; it may be poor; Part with it as with money, sparing; pay No moment but in purchase of its worth, And what it's worth, ask death-beds; they can tell.
Edward YoungThe chamber where the good man meets his fate Is privileg'd beyond the common walk Of virtuous life, quite in the verge of heaven.
