The appetite may sicken and so die.-

O, it came o'er my ear like the sweet south,
That breathes upon a bank of violets,

Stealing and giving odor.-Enough: no more;
'Tis not so sweet now as it was before.

SHAKSPEARE.

93. This is the state of man: To-day he puts forth
The tender leaves of hope, to-morrow blossoms,
And bears his blushing honors thick upon him:
The third day comes a frost, a killing frost;
And-when he thinks, good easy man, full surely
His greatness is a ripening, nips his root,
And then he falls, as I do.

King Henry 8th-Act 3, Sc. 2.

94. The man that hath no music in himself,

SHAKSPEARE.

Let no such man be trusted.

O heaven! that one might read the book of fate,
And see the revolution of the times

Make mountains level, and the continent
(Weary of solid firmness) melt itself
Into the sea! and, *

And changes fill the cup of alteration

With divers liquors! O, if this were seen,
The happiest youth,-viewing his progress through,
What perils past, what crosses to ensue,—

Would shut the book, and sit him down, and die.
King Henry 4th, Second Part-Act 3, Sc. 1.

Bane of elated life; of affluent states,

What dreary change, what ruin is not thine?

111. When Learning's triumph o'er her barb'rous foes
First reared the stage, immortal Shakspeare rose;
Each change of many-colored life he drew,
Exhausted worlds, and then imagined new :
Existence saw him spurn her bounded reign,
And panting Time toiled after him in vain.
Prologue, written for Garrick.

113. So live, that when thy summons comes to join
The innumerable caravan, that moves

To that mysterious realm, where each shall take
His chamber in the silent halls of death,

Thou go not, like the quarry-slave at night,
Scourged to his dungeon; but, sustained and soothed
By an unfaltering trust, approach thy grave,
Like one who wraps the drapery of his couch
About him, and lies down to pleasant dreams.
Thanatopsis.

And makes me poor indeed.
