Poem reflecting on lost youth and the passing of sunny, joyous times. The speaker laments vanished hours of innocence and beauty, wishing to delay their departure while noting the harsher, older years now arrive.
A meditation on death and burial, praising small churchyard graves as sacred spaces for pure thoughts and consolation. The piece contrasts the hush of resting bodies with the turmoil of life, urging restraint from dwelling on wounds and injuries. It includes moral reflections and a satirical lampoon of domestic life and newspapers.
A Quaker on a vessel fights a privateer by halting an enemy climber with a hatchet and a rope swap, then sails to port safely. The piece also shares anecdotes about marriage notions, politics, physiology facts, and oddities from 19th century life, including a Liberia note and strange reports from New Orleans and Paris.
