Ten Engravings of Copper, Twelve Wood Cuts

1824

" Let me play the fool:

With mirth and laughter let old wrinkles come;

And let my liver rather heat with wine,

Than my heart cool with mortifying groans.

Why should a man, whose blood is warm within,

Sit like his grandsire, cut in alabaster?

Sleep when he wakes? and creep into the jaundice

By being peevish?"
