Let fame, that all hunt after in their lives,
Live register'd upon our brazen tombs.
666
SHAKS.: _Love's L. Lost,_ Act i., Sc. 1.
Fame, if not double-faced, is double-mouthed,
And with contrary blast proclaims most deeds:
On both his wings, one black, the other white,
Bears greatest names in his wild aery flight.

A thing beyond us, even before our death.

POPE: _Essay on Man,_ Epis. iv., Line 237.
There was a morning when I longed for fame,
There was a noontide when I passed it by.
There is an evening when I think not shame
Its substance and its being to deny.

Tell me, where is fancy bred;
Or in the heart, or in the head?
How begot, how nourished?
Reply, reply.

With gazing fed: and fancy dies
In the cradle where it lies.
