Dum Vivimus Vivamus

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.

—Dr. Doddridge, epigram on his family arms.

*1 Cor 15:32.
^Eccl 9:10.
