John Bartlett (1820–1905). Familiar Quotations, 10th ed. 1919.

Philip Doddridge. (1702–1751)

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.

Epigram on his Family Arms. 1

    Awake, my soul! stretch every nerve,
  And press with vigour on;
A heavenly race demands thy zeal,
  And an immortal crown.

Zeal and Vigour in the Christian Race.
