122. Lines on a Bed.
—Can you tell me where I can find the antecedents of the following couplets? They are a portion of some exquisite poetical "Lines on a Bed:"
"To-day thy bosom may contain
Exulting pleasure's fleeting train,
Desponding grief to-morrow!"
I once thought they were Prior's, but I cannot find them. Can you assist me?
R. W. B.
