All hearts are glad-no tongue is dumb,

Or does neglected time benumb,
Thy soul with torture meet!
Let conscience speak-,rue wisdom now declare,

A month may close the sccne!-a day
May end our mortal race!
The whirl Of time no delay, .Hs
Death stares us in the face! 4
How precious then is time TO man, '
It's value few regard;
we live, but spend the narrow span,
To make our portion hard! 81

His mercy heals your wounds.
