o TIL PHOVE IS
FAM e.

Clad with the moss of gathering years,
The stone of fame shall moulder
down,
Its place unheeded and unknown.
Long dried from soft affections tears.
All! who would strive for fame that
flies
Like flames of mist before the gale?
Renown but breathes before it dies,
A meteors path! an idiots tale
Beneath retirement's sheltering wing
From mad conflicting crowds re-
mote,
Beside some grove-encirced spring,
Let wisdom build your humble cot
Then clasp your fair one to your
breast,
Your eyes impearld with transports
tear,
By turns caressing and caressed--
Your infant prattlers sporting near.
Content your humble board shall
dress,
And poverty shall guard your door
Of wealth and fame, if you have less
Than monarchs, you of bliss have
more.
BY William Martin Johnson, who
died September 81, 1897, in New
York Florida Times Union.
