Text Appearing Before Image:
When any mournful tunc you hear That dies in every note,As if it sighed with each mans care For being so remote,Think then how often hnc weve madeTo you wlien all those tunes were played.With a fa la, &c. In justice you can not refuse To think of our distress,When we for hopes of honour lose Our certain happiness ;All those designs are but to proveOurselves more worthy of your love.With a fa la, &c. And now weve told you all our loves, And likewise all our fears,In hopes this declaration moves Some pity for our tears ;Lets hear of no inconstancy,We have too much of that at sea. With a fa la, la, la. la. 43 ,^ ^S (Q. -y.r^-
Text Appearing After Image:
r05. \lm DR. WALTER POPE. 1640—1714. There is not much known of this pleasant old EpicureanDean of Wadham, except that he quarrelled with irascible AnthonyWood, and kept up firm friendships with Bishop Wilkins, andDr. Seth Ward, Bishop of Salisbury. Vincent Bourne turned the Old Mans Wish, into charming Latin, with an Horatian feelingJ. ^ worthy of all praise. THE OLD MANS WISH. If I live to be old, for I find I go down, Let this be my fate, in a country town May I have a warm house, with a stone at the gate, And a cleanly young girl to rub my bald pate. CHORUS.May I govern my passion with an absolute sway.And grow wiser and better as my strength wears away ;Without gout or pang, by a gentle decay. May my little house stand on the side of a hill.With an easy descent to a mead and a mill.That when Ive a mind I may hear my boy read.In the mill, if it rains ; if its dry, in the mead.May I govern, &c.4^
