• The wretch condemn'd with life to part, Still, still on hope relies; And every pang that rends the heart Bids expectation rise.

    Oliver Goldsmith: The wretch condemn'd with life to part,
Still, still on hope relies;
And every pang that rends the heart
Bids expectation rise.
    Oliver Goldsmith (1837). “The Miscellaneous Works of Oliver Goldsmith, M. B.: Including a Variety of Pieces”, p.120
