MISCELLANY POEMS.PART II. Written by several Authors.A Paraphrase on an HYMN Sung when the Corps is at the Grave.By T. S. Fellow of Maudlin-Colledge, Oxon.I.HOW full of Troubles is the Life of Man!Vain like a bubble, shorter than a span;He springs and blossoms as an early Flower,Whose silken Leaves the Frosts and Snow devour:He, like the leeting Shadow, hastes away,Unable to continue in one stay;It disappears, and can't survive the day.0
