who call aloud For ev'ry bawble drivel'd o'er by sense ; For rattles, and conceits of ev'ry cast, For change of follies, and relays of joy, To drag your patient through the tedious length Of a short winter's day say, sages ! say, Wit's oracles ! say, dreamers of gay dreams ! How will you weather an eternal night, Where such^expedients fail ? " Death was imminent, he continued, for the " hours that lately srmTd " were already with the past ; the shadow on the dial preached to all who would hear ...; life was not a level plain but a " descent. " Then comes the transition to virtuous 156 EDWARD YOUNG friendship, Young's panegyric of which was more coloured by his recollections of his lost wife than by his memory of Philander.
" Celestial happiness, whene'er she stoops To visit earth, one shrine the goddess finds, And one alone, to make her sweet amends For absent heaven the bosom of a friend ; Where heart meets heart, reciprocally soft, Each other's pillow to repose divine. Beware the counterfeit : in passion's flame Hearts melt, but melt like ice, soon harder froze.
