"Long as to him, who works for debt, the day; Long as the night to her, whose love"s away; Long as the year"s dull circle seems to run When the brisk minor pants for twenty-one: So slow th" unprofitable moments roll, That lock up all the functions of my soul; That keep me from myself, and still delay Life"s instant business to a future day: That task, which as we follow, or despise, The eldest is a fool, the youngest wise: Which done, the poorest can no wants endure, And which not done, the richest must be poor."
(Pope).
