Now I shall go to sleep. Goodnight.
Sorrow preys upon Its solitude, and nothing more diverts it From its sad visions of the other world Than calling it at moments back to this. The busy have no time for tears.
My heart in passion, and my head on rhymes.
Next to dressing for a rout or ball, undressing is a woe.
Fools are my theme, let satire be my song.
I have seen a thousand graves opened, and always perceived that whatever was gone, the teeth and hair remained of those who had died with them. Is not this odd? They go the very first things in youth and yet last the longest in the dust.
