YE MARINERS OF ENGLAND to ZEAL

YE MARINERS OF ENGLAND.—

Campbell.—A Song; the idea of which seems to have been borrowed from an old song entitled, “Ye Gentlemen of England,” written by Martyn Parker.

YEARS.—Winged time glides on insensibly, and deceives us; and there is nothing more fleeting than years.

Ovid.—Meta. Book X. Fable 9. (Riley.)

Jumping o’er times,
Turning the accomplishment of many years
Into an hour-glass.

Shakespeare.—King Henry V. Chorus.

Years have not seen, Time shall not see,
The hour that tears my soul from thee.

Byron.—Bride of Abydos, Canto I. Stanza 11.

Years steal
Fire from the mind, as vigour from the limb;
And life’s enchanted cup but sparkles near the brim.

Byron.—Childe Harold, Canto III. Stanza 8.

Years following years, steal something every day;
At last they steal us from ourselves away.

Pope.—Imitations of Horace, Book II. Epi. II. Line 72.

I am declin’d
Into the vale of years.

Shakespeare.—Othello, Act III. Scene 3. (He imagines that a reason for Desdemona’s supposed love of Cassio.)

YEW-TREE.—Cheerless, unsocial plant! that loves to dwell
’Midst skulls and coffins, epitaphs and worms.

Blair.—The Grave, Line 22.

YORICK.—Let me see. Alas, poor Yorick!
I knew him, Horatio, a fellow of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy.

Shakespeare.—Hamlet, Act V. Scene 1. (Hamlet to Horatio.)

YORICK.—Where be your gibes now? your gambols? your songs? your flashes of merriment, that were wont to set the table on a roar?

Shakespeare.—Hamlet, Act V. Scene 1. (Hamlet addressing Yorick’s skull.)

Now get you to my lady’s chamber, and tell her, let her paint an inch thick, to this favour she must come.

Shakespeare.—Hamlet, Act V. Scene 1. (The same.)

YOUTH.—While proudly riding o’er the azure realm,
In gallant trim the gilded vessel goes;
Youth on the prow and Pleasure at the helm.

Gray.—The Bard, Verse V. Line 10.

Pleasure the servant, Virtue looking on.
