Say First, Of God Above Or Man

Absent Or Dead, Still Let A Friend Be Dear.

Wise Wretch! With Pleasures Too Refined To Please, With Too Much Spirit To Be E'er At Ease, With Too Much Quickness Ever To Be Taught, With Too Much Thinking To Have Common Thought: You Purchase Pain With All That Joy Can Give, And Die Of Nothing But A Rage To Live.

With Too Much Quickness Ever To Be Taught; With Too Much Thinking To Have Common Thought.

Tis But A Part We See, And Not A Whole.

See! From The Brake The Whirring Pheasant Springs, And Mounts Exulting On Triumphant Wings; Short Is His Joy! He Feels The Fiery Wound, Flutters In Blood, And Panting Beats The Ground.
