A LL attachments to excess
811 May be carried, life throughout
■taufing troubles numberless,
? Till time’s hafly glass runs out.
W Smile on fortune, dread not fate,
W Be prepar’d to live or die;
Thus you truly will be great,
This your best philosophy.

In their proper bounds confin’d,
Shew a medium portray’d,
That should ever paint the mind.
- Resignation in distress,
* To supremacy divine,
Points a distant happiness,
That may soon be your’s and mine.
f Virtue with her brilliant ray,
, 7 Lumes each visionary cloud,
Gilds along the.radiant way,
Leading to substantial good.
Let such virtue then be your r s,
Be no more a Have to sorrow
What we have of time is our’s,
™ Hope to*day to fee to-morrow.
