THE
1 houghts on Human Life.
TEE fleeting shadow, the evaporating fume;
the track of a ship on the water; such is
Ihuman life. 'lf life be thus frail- and tranfi
toiy, the fear of death is very unreasonable. Either
these companions are falfe, or this fear is without
foundation: this is the alternative. It has been
laid, that it is not at their death men are to be lai
mented; it is when they are born that they are the
proper objects of our companion.
Upon a due estimate of life, grandeur and de
predion vanish: poverty or riches, goods or evils;
these short-lived gifts of accident, become totally
indifferent. All then center in two points, reason
and virtue.
Our world is very minute, compared to the
universe, and the part we occupy in this minute
foot so contrasted, that, though a person was bles
sed with the molt comprehensive genius, and all
the pomp of rank and office, a man of ferife could;
not look upon him as a being of any great dif
tinClion and importance.
What superb cities did antiquity boafl! What
is become of them? Their very vestiges are doubt
ful; the learned can hardly determine their situa
tion. What remains of the most ftatdly monu^
ments hut a confufed heap of ruins, which bid de^
fiance to explication ? Where is the tomb of the
celebrated Alexander? His allies are now driven
about with the common dust of the earth. What
is done by death, in refpedto man? It places him
in the fame receptacle with those who have gone
before him; and he only, fora few moments, takes
the lead of those who are to follow him.
I he love of life i&fo intimately blended with our
mortal frame, that death alone ,can eliminate it.
for he preforvation of life what do we account
dear! And if we retain a respite we imagine 0111-
selves fafe. Absurd infatuation! Is it a point of
such moment now long we shall be flying from
what we cannot cfcape?
Dare you, thoughtlefs' mortals, dare you die iri
your present condition ? Yet you dare to live in it,
and yoor days depend only on a hngle thread.
