VANITY OF EARTHLY PLEASURES.
All that conicth is vanity. " Eccles, xi. 8.
Mere earthly pleasures, like a dream, Are hardly ever what they seem ; Realities they feign to be, But prove a lying vanity.
And yet what numbers entertain No higher hope than these to gain ! Though oft by disappointment taught Such pleasures are not worth a thought.
If all the pleasures earth can give Were ours so long as we may live, They still would fail to satisfy, And leave us when we came to die.
Let then, my soul, ...such pleasures go, And nobler pleasures seek to know ; Live near to Christ by faith divine, Eternal pleasures then are thine- MISCELLANEOUS. 45 STANZAS Written during a ramble through the Castle walks, Castle- Hedingham, a beautiful retreat, and often frequented by Isaac Watts.
How much the mem'ry of the saint, Who once enjoy 'd this rural calm, Does ev'ry scene with beauty paint, And ev'ry spot with love embalm !
And was it, Watts, whilst straying here, Those holy raptures fir'd thy breast, Which rais'd thy spirit to the sphere Where now it finds eternal rest ?
