17 페이지 - Till tir'd he fleeps, and life's poor play is o'er. Meanwhile opinion gilds with varying rays Thofe painted clouds that beautify our days: Each want of happinefs by hope fupply'd, And each vacuity of fenfe by pride : Thefe build as faft as knowledge can deftroy , In folly's cup flill laughs the bubble, joy...
