dc.description.transcription | Existence, simply considered in itself, no Blessing
From the Lating [last letter deleted] of Palingenius.
Not wine, as wine, men chuse [sic], but as it came
From such, or such a vintage; 'tis the sam
With life, which simply must be understood
A blank negation, if it be not good.--
But if 'tis wretched all--as men decline
And loath the sour lees of corrupted wine--
'Tis so to be contemn'd [sic]. Merely To Be [both words majuscule] | |
