THE ROUND OF LIFE.

From Aphorisms and Opinions of Dr. Geo. Horne, late Lord Bishop of Norwich.

Some are serving—some commanding; Some are sitting—some are standing; Some rejoicing—some are grieving; Some entreating—some relieving; Some are weeping—some are laughing; Some are thirsting—some are quaffing; Some accepting—some refusing; Some are thrifty—some abusing; Some compelling—some persuading; Some are flattering—some degrading; Some are patient—some are fuming; Some are modest—some presuming; Some are leasing—some are farming; Some are helping—some are harming; Some are running—some are riding; Some departing—some abiding; Some are sending—some are bringing; Some are crying—some are singing; Some are hearing—some are preaching; Some are learning—some are teaching; Some disdaining—some affecting; Some assiduous—some neglecting; Some are feasting—some are fasting; Some are saving—some are wasting; Some are losing—some are winning; Some repenting—some are sinning; Some professing—some adoring; Some are silent—some are roaring; Some are restive—some are willing; Some preserving—some are killing; Some are bounteous—some are grinding; Some are seeking—some are finding; Some are thieving—some receiving; Some are hiding—some revealing; Some commending—some are blaming; Some dismembering—some new framing; Some are quiet—some disputing; Some confuted—some confuting; Some are marching—some retiring; Some are resting—some aspiring; Some enduring—some deriding; Some are falling—some are rising.

These are sufficient to recite, Since all men's deeds are infinite; Some end their parts when some begin; Some go out—and some go in.
