Luxurious Lobster-nights, Farewell, For Sober, Studious Days!

Pretty Conceptions, Fine Metaphors, Glittering Expressions, And Something Of A Neat Cast Of Verse Are Properly The Dress, Gems, Or Loose Ornaments Of Poetry.

What's Fame? A Fancy'd Life In Other's Breath. A Thing Beyond Us, Even Before Our Death.

And Not A Vanity Is Given In Vain.

Of Fight Or Fly, This Choice Is Left Ye, To Resist Or Die.

Nor In The Critic Let The Man Be Lost.
