  • In life's last scene what prodigies surprise,
    Fears of the brave, and follies of the wise!
    From Marlborough's eyes the streams of dotage flow,
    And Swift expires a driveller and a show.

In life's last scene what prodigies surprise, Fears of the brave, and follies of the wise! From Marlborough's eyes the streams of dotage flow, And Swift expires a driveller and a show. - Samuel Johnson
