MAN, by ROUD SHAW
First Line: Nor joy nor grief rewards / the brute in life
Last Line: Man only, dies.
Subject(s): Men
First Line: Nor joy nor grief rewards / the brute in life
Last Line: Man only, dies.
Subject(s): Men
Nor joy nor grief rewards
The brute in life,
Insensible to strife
And calm, their good nor ill records.
Nor hope nor fear attends
The brute at death;
No latest breath
Hot with acclaim or spent to make amends.
Man only, lives;
Man only, dies.
