5. You'll grow in the world's approving eyes, In friendship's smile and home's caress, Collecting all the heart's sweet ties, Into one knot of happiness. Moore. 6. Oh! joy alone shall be thought of now, Let Love light it up with its smile. 7. Let not one look of Fortune cast you down, She were not fortune if she did not frown, Such as do braveliest bear her scorns awhile, Are those on whom at last she most will smile. Lord Orrery. 8. Thou can'st not be very wretched; there is That in thy heart would make its way, thro' Hosts with levelled spears. 9. Oh! but your soul will melt in tears, And die beneath the pain it bears, Byron. The grief that springs, the thoughts that goad, 10. Joy will thy steps attend And thou wilt find in every form a friend. 11. Peace shall go with thee wherever thou rovest, And life be for thee one Summer's day, And all that thou wishest, and all that thou lovest, Come smiling around thy sunny way. Moore. 12. Ah! who can gaze upon thee now, And watch thy cheek all beaming with delight, know, Despair and grief, and sorrow's withering blight. J. T. Watson. 13. You may not weep, you cannot sigh, N. P. Willis. 14. You'll steal away to weep, Where no light eye can see, Yet wish for one to keep Your sadness company. G. W. Bethune. 15. Fate's tyrant laws thy happier lot shall brave, Baffle destruction and elude the grave. 16. Each hour, each minute of thy life, G. Coleman. 17. Sorrow, shame, and sickness, will overtake you, And all your beauties like your hopes be blasted. 18. Oh! life is a waste of wearisome hours, Which seldom the rose of enjoyment adorns, And your heart which so soon is awake to the flowers, Will always be first to be touched by the thorns. Moore. 19. A life full of repentance, Continual meditations, tears, and sorrows. Shakespeare. 20. Where'er thy pathway leads, 21. Derision shall strike thee forlorn, And proud o'er thy ruin, forever be hurl'd, 22. Dim clouds may come upon you, For there's a spell in your dear heart, Byron. 23. Bright be thy dreams, and all thy weeping, Moore. |
