William Stanley Braithwaite, ed. The Book of Georgian Verse. 1909.
O Memory! Thou Fond DeceiverOliver Goldsmith (17301774)
O
Still importunate and vain,
To former joys recurring ever,
And turning all the past to pain;
Thy smiles increase the wretch’s woe;
And he who wants each other blessing
In thee must ever find a foe.
