WILLIAM COWPER.
The Task
Book II, The Timepiece
There is a pleasure in poetic pains
Which only poets know.
Variety's the very spice of life,
That gives it all its flavor.
Conversation.
A fool must now and then be right, by chance.
Verses
Supposed to be Written by Alexander Selkirk.
How fleet is a glance of the mind!
Compared with the speed of its flight,
The tempest itself lags behind,
And the swift-winged arrows of light.
