CLAUDIAN, in Eutropium.
What avails it, when shipwreck’d, that error appears?
Are the crimes we commit wash’d away by our tears?
-----------------------
When all the fiercer passions cease
(The glory and disgrace of youth):
When the deluded soul in peace,
Can listen to the voice of truth:
When we are taught in whom to trust,
And how to spare, to spend, to give,
