>O God! that one might read the book of fate,
>And see the revolution of the times
>Make mountains level, and the continent,
>Weary of solid firmness, melt itself
>Into the sea! and, other times, to see
>The beachy girdle of the ocean
>Too wide for Neptune's hips; how chances mock,
>And changes fill the cup of alteration
>With divers liquors! O, if this were seen,
>The happiest youth, viewing his progress through,
>What perils past, what crosses to ensue,
>Would shut the book, and sit him down and die.
