A Pindaric Ode.
A Pindarique Ode.
O faciles dare summa Deos! eademque tueri Difficiles.—————Lucan.
Stanza I. IN vain do Mortals court Eternity; In vain do they attempt to baffle Fate, And hope by Actions worthy Praise Themselves to Immortality to raise: No: they are all to Death predestinate. For both the Virtuous and the Vicious must Fall, alike, undistinguished in the Dust: Else thou, bright Mirror of thy Sex, Had been preser•'d ali•e To endless Ages; but thy glorious Fame Thy fading Ashes shall survive, And with Arabian Sweets perfume thy fragrant Name.
