For he shall not much remember - The person who acts in this way, extracts all the good requisite from life. He passes through things temporal so as not to lose those that are eternal: -

“Calm and serene, the road of life to him,

Or long or short, rugged or smooth, with thorns

O’erspread, or gay with flowers, is but a road.

Such fare as offers grateful he accepts,

And smiling to his native home proceeds.”

C.
