Thou Strong Seducer, Opportunity!

With How Much Ease Believe We What We Wish!

An Hour Will Come, With Pleasure To Relate Your Sorrows Past, As Benefits Of Fate.

That Gloomy Outside, Like A Rusty Chest, Contains The Shoring Treasure Of A Soul Resolved And Brave.

Uncertain Whose The Narrowest Span,--the Clown Unread, Or Half-read Gentleman.

The Bravest Men Are Subject Most To Chance.
