III.A
The work is done!—nor Folly's active rage,Nor Envy's self, shall blot the golden page;Time shall admire, his mellowing touch employ,And mend the immortal tablet, not destroy.
Erasmus Darwin (1731–1802)
The work is done!—nor Folly's active rage,Nor Envy's self, shall blot the golden page;Time shall admire, his mellowing touch employ,And mend the immortal tablet, not destroy.
