- These lone walls and storied arches have a character, marking the Virtues of the Times deceas'd; whilst ECHO from her hollow charnel Vaults speaks in the listening ear of CONTEMPLATION, the Epilogue to Life' MORALITY; how soon its gaudy Pageantries are pass'd, and DEATH without his mask shuts the last scene! |
