p O E T R Y. W 3&3o&3£*£3&3SCs&3& The EXTENT of LlfE’s VARIETY^ JUST this little and no more, Is in ev’ry mortal’s pow’r, Each to fay, I tailed breath, But the cup Was fraught with death. I have figh’d, have laugh’d, have wept, Wak’d to think, and thinking llept. Slept toy Wearied limbs to rest, Wak’d with labour in my breast, Met with farrows, hap’ly o’er, Mix’d in pleasure now no more/ Hop’d and fear’d, with equal sense, Dup’d by many a flight pretence. Soon ihall my foul her veil throw bjt, 1 My body with its kindred lie. Os this I’m certain, but the rest, Is lock’d within a higher breast. IN COUNCIL, March 7, r;B 7 .
