'Tis virtue's part by deeds of praise
To lengthen fame through after days.

Additional quotes by John Conington

So vast the labor to create
The fabric of the Roman state!

Each for himself, we all sustain
The durance of our ghostly pain;
Then to Elysium we repair,
The few, and breathe this blissful air.

Curst Love! what lengths of tyrant scorn Wreak'st not on those of woman born?

Each has his destined time: a span Is all the heritage of man: 'Tis virtue's part by deeds of praise To lengthen fame through after days. - John Conington
