Living, to wing with mirth the weary hours, Or with romantic tales the heart to cheer; Dying, to leave a memory like the breathOf summers full of sunshine and of showers,A grief and gladness in the atmosphere. xiii 7 ^^Cf^_ T&crtL l^Cnyt frKric*/ -^ce^^^t^^^U Cc^y/Ta^pC^&***-<?£££ -*t^Ccso~ a?z*^ /t4r*~- ^w>^>^, fry //Vf1 J^^^^^ Art***/.* rf*£ *^^^U^ £**4rP&S£ *J£~~?/£Uc /<^^£</ M S Pag* Sfotc/i tfoo/rfrom, t/ies oryuutl m, lAe porscjswn, ofMr J C JBfevoorl.
