The CHILD.
Reading edition
Man that is born of a Woman, is of few Days, and full of Trouble. He cometh forth like a Flower, and is cut down: He fleeth also as a Shadow, and continueth not.
Job xiv. 1.
Man, who conceiv’d in the dark Womb, Into the World is brought, Is born to Times with Misery, And various Evil fraught. And as the Flow’r soon fades and dies, However fair it be, So sinks he also to the Grave, And like a Shade does flee.
