Quotes

  • Forever seeking, never found,In this wide varied scene;Sole object of unceasing search,While in this low terrene.Yet vain the search, if in the heartSome lurking passion dwell;For this will hang with cypress wreathRetirement's secret cell.In vain the outward scene is calm,In vain the world we fly;If thou, in pure religion's garb,Thy friendly aid deny.
  • Why, alas! is life decreedFull of pain and full of sorrow?All uncertain as it is,Can we rest upon to-morrow?Why should blessings yet in store,Hold us still in expectation?Leading thro' succeeding sorrows,By some fond anticipation:'Tis to give a tender interestTo the scenes in which we're moving:While those hopes so often blasted,Sensual pleasures are reproving.
