As also in the following:
There be none of Beauty's daughter*
With a magic like thee ; And like music on the waters
Is thy sweet voice to me. When, as if its sound were causing The charmed ocean's pausing, The waves lie still and gleaming, And the lulled winds seem dreaming !
Byron.
Happy the man, and happy he alone,
He who can call to-day his own, He who, secure within, can say,
To-morrow do thy worst, for I have lived to-day.
Dryden.
