turpis enim ferme contemptus et acris egestas
semota ab dulci uita stabilique uidetur
et quasi iam leti portas
cunctarier
ante;
unde homines dum se falso terrore coacti
effugisse uolunt longe longeque remosse,
sanguine ciuili rem conflant diuitiasque
conduplicant auidi, caedem caede accumulantes;
crudeles gaudent in tristi funere fratris
et consanguineum mensas odere timentque.

many
slain by the sword: at the slaughter they fell.

THE AUDIT
Mere living wears the most of life away:
Even the lilies take thought for many things,
For frost in April and for drought in May,
And from no
careless
heart the skylark sings.

So that the first and best
of the citizens, who had before not
considered
him as
a man, but dreaded him as a fury or destroying demon,
that had suddenly seized the seat of government, now
entertained more pleasing hopes from so promising a

Not so the dolphins mourned by the salt sea,
Not so the
nightingale
among the rocks,
Not so the swallow over the far downs,
Not so Ceyx called for his Halcyone,
Not so in the eastern valleys Memnon's bird
Screamed o'er his sepulchre for the Morning's son,
As all have mourned for the departed Bion.

But Tam kent what was what fu' brawlie:
There was ae winsome wench and waulie
That night enlisted in the core,
Lang after ken'd on Carrick shore;
(For mony a beast to dead she shot,
And perish'd mony a bonie boat,
And shook baith meikle corn and bear,
And kept the country-side in fear);
Her cutty sark, o' Paisley harn,
That while a lassie she had worn,
In
longitude
tho' sorely scanty,
It was her best, and she was vauntie.
