_By the late Edward Knight, Esq. of Drury-Lane Theatre._
Oh! waste thou not the smallest thing
Created by Divinity;
For grains of sand the mountains make,
And atomics infinity.
Waste thou not, then, the smallest time--
'Tis imbecile infirmity;
For well thou know'st, if aught thou know'st,
That seconds form eternity.
_Forget Me Not_--1829.
