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. For Philip Ridgate Esq.
2. A Night-Piece on Death
3. When Ore My Temples Balmy Vapours Rise
4. Thou Gaudy Idle World Adieu
5. In Biddy's Cheeks Ye Roses Blow
