The edited words of John Wilmot.
To swim with bladders of philosophy;
In hopes still to o'ertake th' escaping light,
The vapor dances in their dazzling sight
Till, spent, it leaves them to eternal night.
Then old age and experience, hand in hand, 25
Lead them to death, to make them understand.
In hopes still to o'ertake th' escaping light,
The vapor dances in their dazzling sight
Till, spent, it leaves them to eternal night.
Then old age and experience, hand in hand, 25
Lead them to death, to make them understand.
