Intestine War No More Our

Is There No Bright Reversion In The Sky, For Those Who Greatly Think Or Bravely Die?

Behold The Child, By Nature's Kindly Law, Pleased With A Rattle, Tickled With A Straw; Some Livelier Plaything Gives His Youth Delight, A Little Louder, But As Empty Quite; Scarfs, Garters, Gold, Amuse His Riper Stage, And Beads And Prayer-books Are The Toys Of Age. Pleased With This Bauble Still, As That Before, Till Tired He Sleeps, And Life's Poor Play Is O'er.

Fame, Wealth, And Honour! What Are You To Love?

To Rest, The Cushion And Soft Dean Invite, Who Never Mentions Hell To Ears Polite.

If, Presume Not To God To Scan; The Proper Study Of Mankind Is Man. Plac'd On This Isthmus Of A Middle State, A Being Darkly Wise, And Rudely Great.
