his prospects brightening to the last,
His heaven commences ere the world be past.

The native hue of resolution
Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought;
And enterprises of great pith and moment,
With this regard, their currents turn awry,
And lose the name of action.

This unfrequented place to find some ease.

MILTON: _Samson Agonistes,_ Line 16.
O blest retirement, friend to life's decline,
Retreats from care that never must be mine,
How happy he who crowns, in shades like these,
A youth of labor, with an age of ease;
Who quits a world where strong temptations try,
And, since 't is hard to combat, learns to fly.
1495
GOLDSMITH: _Des. Village,_ Line 97.

For those that run away, and fly,
Take place at least of the enemy.

And Belgium's capital had gather'd then
Her beauty and her chivalry, and bright
The lamps shone o'er fair women and brave men.

With Ate by his side, come hot from hell,
Shall in these confines, with a monarch's voice,
Cry "Havock," and let slip the dogs of war.

Bitter ere long, back on itself recoils.
