Excerpt from book: No more, with nature and thyself at strife, Give anxious cares and endless wishes room, But thro' the cool sequester'd vale of life Pursue the noiseless tenor of thy doom. THE COMMENCEMENT YOUNG'S NIGHT THOUGHTS. Tir'd Nature's sweet restorer, balmy Sleep! He, like the world, his ready visit pays Where Fortune smiles; the wretched he forsakes; Swift on his downy pinion flies from wo, And lights on lids unsully'd with a tear. From short, (as usual) and disturbed repose, I wake: how happy they, who wake no more! Yet that were vain, if dreams infest the grave. I wake, emerging from a sea of dreams Tumultuous; where my wreck'd desponding thought, From wave to wave of fancy'd misery, At random drove, her helm of reason lost. Tho' now restored, 'tis only change of pain, (A bitter change!) severer for severe. The Day too short for my distress; and Night, Even in the zenith of her dark domain, Is sunshine to the colour of my fate. Night, sable goddess! from her ebon throne, In rayless majesty, now stretches forth Her leaden sceptre o'er a slumbering world. Silence, how dead: and darkness, how profound! Nor eye, nor list'ning ear, an object finds; Creation sleeps. 'Tis as the general pulse Of life stood still, and nature made a pause; An awful pause! prophetic of her end. And let her prophesy be soon fulfill'd; Fate! drop the curtain; I can lose no more. Silence and darkness! solemn sisters! twins From ancient Night, who nurse the tender thought To Reason, and on Reason build Resolve,(That column of true majesty in man) chapter{Section 4 Assist me; I will thank you in the grave; The grave, your kingdom; there this frame shall fall A victim sacred to your dreary shrine.
