AN EPITAPH ON HUMAN LIFE.
Be early wise, lest prudence come too late!
Think how to-morrow steals from us to-day,
And leaves the spendthrift further in arrear
To purposes unfinish'd! 'Till Old Time,
Who lends on usury, calls in the account,
And takes the body, for its debt unpaid,
Foreclosing life in the insolvent tomb!
