• Men famed for wit, of dangerous talents vain,
  Treat those of common parts with proud disdain;
  The powers that wisdom would, improving, hide,
  They blaze abroad, with inconsid'rate pride;
  While yet but mere probationers for fame,
  They seize the honor they should then disclaim:
  Honor so hurried to the light must fade,
  The lasting laurels nourish in the shade.

• Genius! thou gift of Heav'n! thou Light divine!
  Amid what dangers art thou doom'd to shine!
  Oft will the body's weakness check thy force,
  Oft damp thy Vigour, and impede thy course;
  And trembling nerves compel thee to restrain
  Thy noble efforts, to contend with pain;
  Or Want (sad guest!) will in thy presence come,
  And breathe around her melancholy gloom:
  To Life's low cares will thy proud thought confine,
  And make her sufferings, her impatience, thine.

• Say, ye oppress'd by some fantastic woes,
  Some jarring nerve that baffles your repose;
  Who press the downy couch, while slaves advance
  With timid eye, to read the distant glance;
  Who with sad prayers the weary doctor tease,
  To name the nameless ever-new disease;
  Who with mock patience dire complaints endure,
  Which real pain and that alone can cure;
  How would ye bear in real pain to lie,
  Despised, neglected, left alone to die?
  How would ye bear to draw your latest breath,
  Where all that's wretched paves the way for death?

  George Crabbe

  Prayer, Pain, Real

• ¡Oh, días bien recordados! ¡Recordados todos!
  El dulce amargo, la miel y la hiel;
  Aquellos paseos por el jardín en la noche silenciosa,
  Esos arboles tan sombreados, y esa luna tan brillante,
  Aquel callejón espinoso junto a la glorieta,
  Aquel asiento de parra donde al fin descansamos;
  Y luego las esperanzas que vinieron y luego se fueron,
  Rápidas como las nubes bajo la luna.
