AGAINST LIFE.
From the Greek of PoJidipfeus.
WHAT tranquil road, unvex'd by ftrlfe,
Can mortals choose thro' human life ?
Attend the Courts, attend the bar —
There discord reigns, and endless jar:
At home the weary wretches find
Severe disquietude of mind;
To till the fields gives toil and pain ;
Eternal terrors sweep the main :
If rih, we fear to lose our store;
Need and distress await the poor:
Sad cares the bands of Hymeh give;
Friendless, forlorn, th' unmarry'd live:
Are children born ? we anxious groan ;
Childlefe, our jack of heirs we moan :
Wild, giddy fcbemes our youth engage ;
Weakness and wants depress old age.
Would Fate, then, with my wish comply,
I'd never live, or quickly die.
FOR LIFE.
From the Greek of Metrodorus.
MANKIND may rove, unvex'd by ftrife,
Through ev'ry road of human life.
Fair wisdom regulates the bar,
And peace concludes the wordy war:
At home auspicious mortals find
Serene tranquility of mind:
All-beauteous nature decks the plain ;
And merchants plow for gold the main:
Refpea arises from our store:
Security from being poor?
More joys the bands of Hymen give ;
Fh' unmarried with more freedom live:
If parents, our blefs'd lot we own ;
Chjldlefs, we have no cause to moan:
Firm vigor crowns our youthful Rage ;
And venerable hairs old age.
Since all is good, then who would cry,
" I'd never live, or quickly die ?”
