Master, go on; and I will follow thee, [1828 TROILUS AND CRESSIDA, Acт 3. Sc. 3. Ul. TIME hath, my Lord, a wallet at his back, Wherein he puts alms for oblivion, A great-sized monster of ingratitudes : Those scraps are good deeds past; which are devoured As fast as they are made; forgot as soon As done. Perseverance, dear my Lord, Keeps honour bright. To have done, is to hang Quite out of fashion, like a rusty mail In monumental mockery. Take the instant way; For honour travels in a strait so narrow, μισθὸν δὲ πᾶς τις εὐθέως κεκτημένος σπουδὴν ἀπεῖπε τὴν πρὶν ὡς τάχος πάλιν. σοὶ δ ̓ οὐ δέδοκται τοίαδ ̓, ὦ φίλον κάρα. ξηρόν γε μέντοι, πρέσβυ, κηπεύων φυτὸν ματαῖα μοχθεῖς, οὗ σεσηπότες κλάδοι οὐδ ̓ ἄνθος ἓν φύσουσι τῶν πόνων θέρος. ἀλλ ̓, εἰ δοκεῖ, φευξούμεθ ̓ εἰς ξένην ὁμοῦ, καὶ πρὶν τὰ χρήματ ̓ ἐξαναλῶσαι τάδε, τάχ ̓ ἂν βραχεῖαν ἥσυχόν θ' εὑροίμεθα τροφὴν ἀλητεύοντε, καὶ παῦλαν πλάνης.

ὮΝΑΞ, φέρει πήραν τιν ̓ ὤμοισιν χρόνος, 5 10 Where but one goes abreast: keep then the path; For emulation hath a thousand sons, That one by one pursue. If you give way, Or hedge aside from the direct forthright, Like to an enter'd tide they all rush by, Or, like a gallant horse fallen in first rank, Lie there for pavement to the abject rear, O'errun and trampled on. Then what they do in present, Though less than yours in past, must o'ertop yours: For time is like a fashionable host, That slightly shakes his parting guest by the hand; And with his arms outstretch'd, as he would fly, Grasps-in the comer. Welcome ever smiles, And farewell goes out sighing. O, let not virtue seek Remuneration for the thing it was! For beauty, wit, High birth, vigour of bone, desert in service, Love, friendship, charity, are subjects all To envious and calumniating time. One touch of nature makes the whole world kin,— 1828.] PORSON PRIZE. ἵν ̓ οὐ τρέχει τις, μὴ οὐ μονοστιβὴς δραμών. καὶ μὴν προκείσει γ ̓ ἐκτάδην, χαμαιπετὲς καίπερ παλαιοῖς σχήμασιν πεπλασμένα, 45 15 20 25 30 35 40 |
