These are the lines from the 2 poems
1. Oh , What a tangled web we weave , when first we pratcise to deceive
2. What is this life, if full of care we don't have to time to stand and stare(not very sure of the exact wording-this is an approximation)
Can someone help me with the name of the poem and the author so that I can get hold of the poem,plz?

What is this life if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare.
No time to stand beneath the boughs
And stare as long as sheep or cows.
No time to see, when woods we pass,
Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass.
No time to see, in broad daylight,
Streams full of stars, like skies at night.
No time to turn at Beauty's glance,
And watch her feet, how they can dance.
No time to wait till her mouth can
Enrich that smile her eyes began.
A poor life this is if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare.
~William Henry Davies ~
Sorry I have no idea of the 1st one.

sure, you will desire to run a information superhighway seek on the lines you comprehend, yet putting rates around it would help so Google shows the precise word. Ex. the quick fox jumped over the lazy dogs -may be- "the quick fox jumped over the lazy dogs"
