Maxioms by William Cowper
Man on the dubious waves of error toss'd.
Man on the dubious waves of error toss'd.
By low ambition and the thirst of praise.
By low ambition and the thirst of praise.
He comes, the herald of a noisy world,
With spatter'd boots, strapp'd waist, and frozen locks;
News read more
He comes, the herald of a noisy world,
With spatter'd boots, strapp'd waist, and frozen locks;
News from all nations lumbering at his back.
But many a crime deemed innocent on earth
Is registered in Heaven; and these no doubt
Have read more
But many a crime deemed innocent on earth
Is registered in Heaven; and these no doubt
Have each their record, with a curse annex'd.
