Aferions address of an OLD MAN to YOUNG PEOPLE.
Remember n^w thy creator, in the day# of thy yeuih,
whie the daysc-ma not, nor the years draw nigh,
when then shalt f*y, I have no ah, fm ; 4 them.
KING SOLOMON.
REMEMBER your creator now
While in the morning of year day ;
Secure his leva Betimes, and know
The fin and danger of delay.
Devote your tiae to him, while youth
Sufeepuve of inftruaiem feels
The powerful force of Heavenly truth,
Aad to its kind impressions yields.
E'er age advancing evry hour,
Impair year trength, year Jifrind breath,
And fin, by ceftem, gain merit power,
To bind you in tVe chains <A death.
Ged is the maker es ^ur frame ;
Yeur blriliags all flew fam his hand $
HL glories too maftjuftly claim
All that his righteous laws demand.
Hi, righteous laws devsttly geed.
Are paths of pleasantness and peace,
Th*kindeft wifdem mark'd the read
To all our natures can peffif.
Happy th# man, that fem his youth,
Still serves the Lerd and feks his grace.
Who tastes his love, believes Kis truth,
Aad lives upon his premifn.
Gad wi'l be prefect with his aid,
To guild his life and blefi his ways ;
And lead aim sass through death's dark lhide,
When age or heknefs ends his days.
Net so the thoughtlsfs and prophane,
W he fpsnd their youth and day of grace,
In quell of earthly j,y er gain;
Forget thrir G^d and leave his ways.
True, fvch parfaits, with fortunes smile,
(Where youth, and firength, and health remain,)
With fancied joys may plaafii a while,
Like takes of honey ftuag with pain.
Th' enchanting sanes will fan be o'er
As blooming fltwers fien leafs their charms :
And fad dialers av'ry hour
May fend you to converse with warms.
Bat fatal accidents apart,
Let life draw long a profp'lous thread ;
Old age will seen depress the heart,
And pain the tiresome fops yeu tread.
A deadning laagour fonn invade,
Oar (safes, limbs axd nobler powers ;
As the dark veil es evening ihadss
Th' all cheering light es Heaven ebfewas.
Life labours now with pain and grief,
Sour'd and beclouded with a gloom,
No expt&ri^e of relief,
Buraaxiu furs es. werfa to come.
What thin can bear the tinner up,
When age azd av.il days coze on,
When youth a^d strength and cheerful hope,
And all earth's flattering joys are gene ?
No worldly ebje&s now can cheer,
Tir'd naiu e finking with its lead,
And the dark mind unus'd to prayer,
Can't fee ear fak fir help is Ged.
The foul awhile 'pid* all her woes,
May breathe in fl sh reclining still,
Bu+ seen expires rhea dawn she gas%
Where everlasting burnings dwell.
Old age in fi^ ! meft wretched date !
What pangs would % them could they feel,
A fewnre? fafas soy Ax their fit^;
Rsveffeiefj, in the depth of Hell. .;
But m&k the upright godly man, (
Thro' life in all conditions bleft,
Ard death that foals the fensr4 paid,
Conveys hi: foul to erdlefs rest,
Remember then yoir Saviour now,
While in the mining cf your day;
