A man may go to heaven without health, without riches, without honors, without learning, without friends; but he can never go there without Christ. - [Christ (Saviour)] And he that will this health deny, Down among the dead men let him lie. - From a Toast published during the Reign of Queen Anne [Toasts] Thus is nature's vesture wrought Too instruct our wand'ring thought; Thus she dresses green and gay To disperse our cares away. - Grongar Hill [Country] Ever charming, ever new, When will the landscape tire the view? - Grongar Hill (l. 102) [Nature] A little rule, a little sway, A sunbeam in a winter's day, Is all the proud and might have Between the cradle and the grave. - Grongar Hill (l. 89) [Life] And see the rivers how they run Through woods and meads, in shade and sun, Sometimes swift, sometimes slow,-- Wave succeeding wave, they go A various journey to the deep, Like human life to endless sleep! - Grongar Hill (l. 93) [Rivers] While the wanton Zephyr sings, And in the vale perfumes his wings. - Gronger Hill [Zephyrs] So little distant dangers seem: So we mistake the future's face, Ey'd thro' Hope's deluding glass; As yon summits soft and fair, Clad in colours of the air, Which to those who journey near, Barren, brown, and rough appear. - Gronger Hill (l. 884) [Visions] The solitary, silent, solemn scene, Where Caesars, heroes, peasants, hermits lie, Blended in dust together; where the slave Rests from his labors; where th' insulting proud Resigns his powers; the miser drops his hoard: Where human folly sleeps. - Ruins of Rome (l. 540) [Graves]
