| | | Dum Vivimus, Vivamus (Latin). | | |
While we live, let us enjoy life. The motto of Dr. Doddridge’s coat of arms, which he converted into the subjoined epigram—
| |
| “‘Live, while you live,’ the epicure would say. |
| ‘And seize the pleasures of the present day.’ |
| ‘Live, while you live,’ the sacred preacher cries, |
| ‘And give to God each moment as it flies.’ |
| Lord, in my views let each united be; |
| I live in pleasure, when I live to thee.” | |
