• To-morrow is that lamp upon the marsh, which a traveller never reacheth;
  To-morrow, the rainbow's cup, coveted prize of ignorance;
  To-morrow, the shifting anchorage, dangerous trust of manners;
  To-morrow, the wrecker's beacon, wily snare of the destroyer.
  Reconcile conviction with delay, and To-morrow is a fatal lie;
  Frighten resolutions into action, To-morrow is a wholesome truth.

  Innumerous were the causes; humbled pride,
  Ambition disappointed, riches lost,
  And bodily disease, and sorrow, oft
  By man inflicted on his brother man;
  Sorrow, that, made the reason drunk, and yet
  Left much untasted. So the cup was fill'd.
