Tis done! Dread Winter spreads his latest glooms, And reigns tremendous o’er the conquered year. How dead the vegetable kingdom lies! How dumb the tuneful! Horror wide extends His desolate domain. Behold fond man! See here thy pictured life: pass some few years, Thy flowering spring, thy summer’s ardent strength, Thy sober autumn fading into age, And pale concluding winter comes at last.
