That 'tis no wonder Death our hopes beguiled ; He's seldom old that will not be a child. 20 192 POEMS OF TO MR. KILLIGREW, UPON HIS ALTERING HIS PLAY, "PANDORA," FROM A TRAGEDY INTO A COMEDY, BECAUSE NOT APPROVED ON THE STAGE.
Sir, you should rather teach our age the way Of judging well, than thus have changed your play ; You had obliged us by employing wit.
Not to reform Pandora, but the pit; For as the nightingale, without the throng 5 Of other birds, alone attends her song.
While the loud da...w, his throat displaying, draws The whole assembly of his fellow-daws ; So must the writer, whose productions should Take with the vulgar, be of vulgar mould j 10 Whilst nobler fancies make a flight too high For common view, and lessen as they fly.
EDMUND WALLER. 193 EPIGRAM UPON THE GOLDEN MEDAL.
Our guard upon the royal side !
On the reverse our beauty's pride !
Here we discern the frown and smile, The force and glory of our isle.
In the rich medal, both so like S Immortals stand, it seems antique ; Carved by some master, when the bold Greeks made their Jove descend in gold, And Danae wondering at that shower, Which falling, stormed her brazen tower.
