Oh! sing again that simple song We used to love so long ago; Ere Fortune’s spite, the cold world’s wrong, Had taught us all that now we know. Ay, breathe once more that touching strain, So sweet to spirits tempest-tost; For still to me its sad refrain Seems sweetest when it pains me most. Though Fortune frown, and friends look cold, And lowier hopes and aims are ours; And visions bright as those of old No more may cheer our lonely hours; Yet, let us ‘drive dull care away,’ Unheeding Fortune’s sharpest slings,° Today, today, at least, be gay, Whate’er tomorrow brings! ° ‘The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune.’ —SHAKESPEARE As printed in: ''The London Society: An illustrated Magazine of light and amusing literature for the hours of relaxation''. Volume II, 1862.
