Cling not to eartli--there's nothing there,
However iov'd-howcvcr fair,
But on its features still must wear


The impress ofmoralty.
The voyagcr on the boundless deep,
Wthln his barque may smile or sleep
But hear him on--he will not weep


To leave its wild uncertainty.
Cling not to eartl--as well we may
Trust Asia's seipent's wanton play,
That Glitters only TO betray


TO death--or else to misery.
Dream not of Fgiendslip--th may be
A word, :; smile, grasp for thee
But wait the hour of need and see


iiut wonder not--ther fallacy.
Think not Of Bcautv-like the rest
1t bears a lus,re on its crest
But short the time ere stands contest


Its falschood-or its iralty.
Then cling no more so fondly on
The flowers Of earth around thee streWni =
They'll do awhile to sport upon,


But not to love SO ftrvently.
