Classic poem of the day
Twice Forty moneths in wedlock I did stay,
Then had my vows crown'd with a lovely boy.
And yet in forty days he dropt away;
O! swift vicissitude of humane Joy!
2
I did but see him, and he disappear'd,
I did but touch the Rose=bud, and it fell;
A sorrow unfore=seen and scarcely fear'd,
Soe ill can mortalls their afflictions spell.
