Address To The Soul

Forty years of thy precious existence have expired; p. 31

Yet thy life hath not passed beyond childhood.

Thou hast spent all in lust and licence;

Not a moment hast thou acted according to righteousness.

Rely not upon unstable life;

Be not confident that thou art safe from the sport of fortune.
