Farewell, Too Little, And Too

For Those Whom God To Ruin Has Design'd, He Fits For Fate, And First Destroys Their Mind.

The Sooner You Treat Your Son As A Man, The Sooner He Will Be One.

How Blessed Is He, Who Leads A Country Life, Unvex'd With Anxious Cares, And Void Of Strife! Who Studying Peace, And Shunning Civil Rage, Enjoy'd His Youth, And Now Enjoys His Age: All Who Deserve His Love, He Makes His Own; And, To Be Lov'd Himself, Needs Only To Be Known.

Our Vows Are Heard Betimes! And Heaven Takes Care To Grant, Before We Can Conclude The Prayer: Preventing Angels Met It Half The Way, And Sent Us Back To Praise, Who Came To Pray.

Ye Moon And Stars, Bear Witness To The Truth.
