" The sun and the moon put us in mind of it (death);
Do not shine to involve yourself in difficulties." Firdousee.
" Immortalia ne speres monet annus, et almum
Quae rapit hora diem :
Frigora mitescunt Zephyris; ver proterit aestas
Interitura, simul
Pomifer autumnus fruges effuderit; et mox
Bruma recurret iners.
Damna tamen celeres reparant coelestia Lunae :
Nos ubi decidimus,
Quo pius iEneas, quo Tullus dives, et Ancus,
Pulvis et umbra sum us." Hor. Lib. iv. Ode 7,
Perhaps we may think the conciseness of the following couplet
from Hafiz, superior to the same image worked up by Dr. Young;
Binusheen bulubi joo o goozri omr bibeen
Ween isharuti juhan goozran mara bus.
f " Seat yourself near the margin of a stream, and see how life
glides away; this intimation how life passes is enough for me."
" Life glides away, Lorenzo, like a brook;
For ever changing, unperceiv'd the change.
In the same brook none ever bathed him twice,
To the same life none ever twice awoke.
We call the brook the same, the same we think
Our life, though still more rapid in its flow ;
Nor mark the much, irrevocably lapsed.
And mingled with the sea." Night 5.
Musnud bubagh bur ki bu khidmut choo bundegan
Istadu ust survo kumr bustuust ny.
