I thought that all thinp had been aavage here ;
And therefore put I on the countenance
Of stem commandment. But whate'er you are,
That in thia deeert ina<:Ce!~Bible,
Under the shade of melancholy bouglul,
Lose and neglect the creepiu.g hoUl"' of time ;
If ever you have look'd on better daya;
H ever been where belle have luloll'd to church ;
If ever eat at any good man's feut;
H ever from your eyelids wiped a tear,
And know what 'tis to p ity, and be pitied;
Let gentleneae my 11trong enforcement be ;
In the which hope I bluah, and bide my sword.
