Translation of Juvenal's 10th Satire.
Look round the habitable world, how few
Know their own good, or, knowing it, pursue.
Prologue to Lee's Sophonisba.
Thespis, the first professor of our art,
At country wakes sung ballads from a cart.
Imitation of the 29th of Horace.
Book i. Line 65.
Happy the man, and happy he alone,
He, who can call to-day his own: He who, secure within, can say,
To-morrow do thy worst, for I have lived to-day.
