tits time TO be old,
To take in sail -
The god Of bounds,
Who sets % n shore
Game to me IN his fatal rounds,
And said, No more!
No further spread
Thy broad ambitious branches and thyroot;
Fancy departs; no more invent
Contract thy drmAmcis
There's rosIenOugh for this and that,
Make thy option which oftwOi
Econonize iae failing river,
Leave the many and hold the few.
Timely wise accept the terms
sofel the iall with wary foot;
little while
Still plan ard smile,
Aud fault Of novel germs
Mature the unfalen fruit.

Bad husbands Of their hrcs.
