“Quis scit an adjiciant hodiernæ crastina summæ
“Tempora Di superi?”
Horace.
Attend, ye thoughtless!—Hear, ye young and gay!
Who chearly pass the buxom hours away;
And let reflection for a while prevail,
While the sad Muse unfolds her mournful tale:
In pensive strains her solemn numbers flow,
And shew the vanity of all below.
The day that mark’d, in majesty sublime.
