For ever warm and still to be enjoy'd, For ever panting, and for ever young; All breathing human passion far above, That leaves a heart high-sorrowful and cloy'd, A burning forehead, and a parching tongue. . . . . . . "O Attic shape! Fair attitude! with brede* Of marble men and maidens over-wrought, With forest branches and the trodden weed; Thou, silent form, dost tease us out of thought
Long, and at vast Expence, th'industrious Stage Has strove to please a dull ungrateful Age: With Heroes and with Gods we first began, And thunder'd to you in heroick Strain: Some dying Love-sick Queen each Night you injoy'd, And with Magnificence at last were cloy'd: Our Drums and Trumpets frighted all the Women; Our Fighting scar'd the Beaux and Billet-Doux Men.
Since with old Plays you have so long been cloy'd, As with a Mistress many years enjoy'd, How briskly dear Variety you pursue; Nay, though for worse ye change, ye will have New. Widows take heed some of you in fresh Youth Have been the unpitied Martyrs of this Youth.

Our Lord said, 'Where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. To be carnally-minded is death, but to be spiritually-minded is life and peace. The vulture of insatiate minds Still wants, and wanting seeks, and seeking finds New fuel to increase her rav'nous fire. The grave is sooner cloy'd than men's desire. A full purse and a lean soul, is a sign of a great curse.
