Did You Think The Lion

Futurity Is Impregnable To Mortal Ken: No Prayer Pierces Through Heaven's Adamantine Walls. Whether The Birds Fly Right Or Left, Whatever Be The Aspect Of The Stars, The Book Of Nature Is A Maze, Dreams Are A Lie, And Every Sign A Falsehood.

Time Flies On Restless Pinions - Constant Never.

To Gain A Crown By Fighting Is Great, To Reject It Divine.

On Dreary Night Let Lusty Sunshine Fall.

Many A Crown Shines Spotless Now That Yet Was Deeply Sullied In The Winning.
