Woe To The Youth Whom Fancy Gains,

Love Will Subsist On Wonderfully Little Hope But Not Altogether Without It.

O! Many A Shaft, At Random Sent, Finds Mark The Archer Little Meant! And Many A Word, At Random Spoken, May Soothe Or Wound A Heart That's Broken!

Thus Aged Men, Full Loth And Slow, The Vanities Of Life Forego, And Count Their Youthful Follies O'er, Till Memory Lends Her Light No More.

A Fool's Wild Speech Confounds The Wise.

Tears Are The Softening Showers Which Cause The Seed Of Heaven To Spring Up In The Human Heart.
