First Line: Tir'd with vain hopes, and with complaints as vain
Last Line: Here learn to live; nor wish, nor fear to die.
Subject(s): Life


FOR SIR W. TRUMBULL

Tir'd with vain hopes, and with complaints as vain,
Of anxious love's alternate joy and pain,
Inconstant fortune's favour and her hate,
And unperforming friendships of the great;
Here both contented and resign'd, I lye;
Here learn to live; nor wish, nor fear to die.
