MART. LIB. 5, EP. 59.

To-morrow you will live, you always cry;

In what far country does this morrow lie,

That ’tis so mighty long ere it arrive?

Beyond the Indies does this morrow live?

’Tis so far-fetched, this morrow, that I fear

’Twill be both very old and very dear.

To-morrow I will live, the fool does say;

To-day itself’s too late, the wise lived yesterday.
