| QUOTATION: | Me let the tender office long engage To rock the cradle of reposing age; With lenient arts extend a mother’s breath, Make languor smile, and smooth the bed of death; Explore the thought, explain the asking eye, And keep awhile one parent from the sky. |
| ATTRIBUTION: | Epistle to Dr. Arbuthnot. Prologue to the Satires. Line 408. |
