Poem by Thomas Parnell

Out of Greek

The things that Mortals love are mortal too
& swiftly transient fleet before the view
Or if with man a longer while they stay
Man swiftly transient fleets himself away. 

1. When Ore My Temples Balmy Vapours Rise
2. Chloris Appearing in a Looking Glass
3. Hark The Thundring Drums Inviting
4. For Philip Ridgate Esq.
5. In Biddy's Cheeks Ye Roses Blow
