William Watson (Уильям Уотсон)


To a Friend


CHAFING AT ENFORCED IDLENESS 
FROM INTERRUPTED HEALTH

Soon may the edict lapse, that on you lays
This dire compulsion of infertile days,
This hardest penal toil, reluctant rest!
Meanwhile I count you eminently blest,
Happy from labours heretofore well done,
Happy in tasks auspiciously begun.
For they are blest that have not much to rue—
That have not oft mis-heard the prompter's cue,
Stammered and stumbled and the wrong parts played,
And life a Tragedy of Errors made.

  2. Nay, Bid Me Not My Cares to Leave

  4. Well He Slumbers, Greatly Slain
  5. England and Her Colonies
