To storied ghosts, and Pluto’s house

’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).
28. HOR. 2 Od. x. 19.
