But what are three score years to me? Although the life of man, 'T is only, in the web of life, the tiny infant's span, The lightning's flash, the arrow's flight, the dew upon the spray, Today 't is here, tomorrow gone - thus life is passed away,
The tender ties of early days, which rendered life so sweet, The weight of three score years have crushed beneath its giant fee Leaving a loving heart in grief bowed down beneath its weight, Adopting, as a last recourse, submission to its fate.
Few ties remain - how dear to me - they now surround my bed To wipe away the gathering tear, and soothe my aching head ; A precious boon -- a gift of heaven - a treasure more than gold - They smooth each day, life's rugged way, as I am growing old.
What mixture in the cup of life, which I so long have quaffed, How joy and grief, and smiles and tears, have mingled in the drafi But I have almost drained the cup; and little now remains, Excepting life's infirmities, its sufferings, and its pains.
Whatever ills may yet betide, howe'er disease and pain May rack this mortal tenement, O, may I not complain, But humbly rest in God's right hand till life's short race is run, And say, with my expiring breath, Thy will, O Lord, be done
-
ANSWERED PRAYER. For many years my prayer hath been, That I might end this mortal race, Without severe and torturing pain, And, calm and easy, die in peace.
And now the Lord hath heard my prayer, Assuaged my pains so oft severe, And given my frail body rest, The little time that I am here.
I'll give Him praise, while life and strength Shall let me speak my gratitude, And with my last expiring breath, I'll calmly breathe - the Lord is good.

CHAPTER IV.
TABLES.
GOVERNORS OF MASSACHUSETTS.
IT is so convenient for the reader of a history in any way connected with our Commonwealth, to have a list of the Governors at hand, that one is here given. Down to the year 1631, those officers were elected by the Company, in England. From 1631 to 1679, inclusive, they were chosen annually by the people here. After the dissolution of the first Charter, in 1684, affairs were administered by a President. In 1687, Sir Edmund Andros became Governor, under a royal commission. In 1689 he was deposed by the people, who then elected Simon Bradstreet, President, and afterward Governor. The Governors under the second Charter, commencing with Sir William Phipps, in 1692, and ending with Thomas Gage, in 1774, were appointed by the King. With Hancock commenced the line of State Governors.

HISTORY OF LYNN.
SURNAMES
OF ALL RESIDENTS OF LYNN, from the time the Plantation began, in 1629, to the year 1700. Most names were spelled in different ways; but in this list it was not thought necessary to follow the almost interminable variations. .

HISTORY OF LYNN.
REPRESENTATIVES OF LYNN.
Down to 1634 the General Court was composed of the whole body of freemen, and individuals were sometimes fined or censured for not attending to their legislative duties. In May of the year just named the first House of Deputies, or Representatives was formed, as it had begun to be felt that the attendance of all the freemen was a great inconvenience. The following is a list of those sent from Lynn, down to the close of century 1700. The list would be quite extensive if continued to the present time, and would hardly be of sufficient general interest to compensate for the space it would occupy. 1634. May 14.
