Alas ! say many, this is correct,- is true with regard to the youth who has never abused his strength—and to the man who has not b en “ passion’s slave.” But to that youth—to that man, who has wasted his vigor, who has yielded himself up to the tempoi ary sweet allurements of \ice, who has given iinln id led license to his passions, to him i.hc above lines arc but as a reproach. What Hope cm he have? What aspiration-? Wlia chance of leaving Ai< footprints on the sands of time?
