3924 Philip Doddridge 1702-1751 John Bartlett

 
NUMBER:3924
AUTHOR:Philip Doddridge (1702–1751)
QUOTATION: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 both united be:
I live in pleasure when I live to thee.
ATTRIBUTION:Epigram on his Family Arms. 1
