To husband out life's taper at the close, And keep the flames from wasting by repose.


The Poetical and Dramatic Works of Oliver Goldsmith, M.B. (ed. 1780)


To husband out life's taper at the close, And keep the flames from wasting by repose.

To husband out life's taper at the close, And keep the flames from wasting by repose.

To husband out life's taper at the close, And keep the flames from wasting by repose.

To husband out life's taper at the close, And keep the flames from wasting by repose.
