WHEN SEVEREST FOES IMPENDING.
WHEN severest foes impendingSeem to threaten dangers near,Unexpected joys attendingEase your mind and banish care.Though to fortune's frowns subjected,And depress'd by anxious care,Servile souls are soon dejected,Noble minds will ne'er despair!
Prithee, friend, why then so serious ?Nought is got by grief or care;Melancholy grows imperiousWhen it comes to domineer.Be it business, love, or sorrow, That does now distress thy mind,Bid them call again to-morrow,We to mirth are now inclin'd.
