pang (v.)
The sense of death is most in apprehension;
And the poor beetle, that we tread upon,
In corporal sufferance finds a pang as great
As when a giant dies.
We shall find no fiend in hell can match the fury of a disappointed woman,—scorned, slighted, dismissed without a parting pang.
Then welcome each rebuff
That turns earth's smoothness rough,
Each sting that bids nor sit nor stand, but go!
Be our joys three-parts pain!
Strive, and hold cheap the strain;
Learn, nor account the pang; dare, never grudge the throe!
To the last moment of his breath,
On hope the wretch relies;
And even the pang preceding death
Bids expectation rise.
To the last moment of his breath,
On hope the wretch relies;
And even the pang preceding death
Bids expectation rise.
