Down the smooth stream of life the stripling darts, Gay as the morn; bright glows the vernal sky, Hope swells his sails, and passion steers his course. Safe glides his little bark along the shore, Where virtue takes her stand; but if too far He launches forth, beyond discretion's mark, Sudden the tempest scowls, the surges roar, Blot his fair day, and plunge him in the deep.
