E'en such is Time; which takes in trust / / Our youth, our joys, and all we have; / / And pays us nought but age and dust, / / Which in the dark and silent grave, / / When we have wander'd all our ways, / / Shuts up the story of our days. / / SIR WALTER RALEIGH.
Robin, when he quitted the Buccaneer, proceeded not towards his mother's / house, but again entered the chamber in which Barbara lay: he paused, / and listened to ascertain if she again slept. He heard no sound, and at / length ventured to divide the drapery, and look within. The motion, / slight as it was, was noticed by the gentle maid, who beckoned with her / finger, and her lover was in an instant by her side.
