Choose a firm Cloud, before it fall, and in it
Catch, ere she change, the Cynthia of this minute.

O happiness our being's end and aim Good, pleasure, ease, content whate'er thy name That something still which prompts the eternal sigh, For which we bear to live, or dare to die.

Once like thyself, I trembled, wept, and pray'd,
Love's victim then, though now a sainted maid:
But all is calm in this eternal sleep;
Here grief forgets to groan, and love to weep,
Ev'n superstition loses ev'ry fear:
For God, not man, absolves our frailties here.
Alexander Pope
Words are like Leaves; and where they most abound,
Much Fruit of Sense beneath is rarely found.
