Whate'er kind providence has sent,
Nor aim beyond our pow'r;

From our own selves our bliss must flow,
And that dear hut,--our home.

To-morrow, didst thou say?
Methought I heard Horatio say, To-morrow!
Go to--I will not hear it. To-morrow!

Against thy plenty--takes thy ready cash,
And pays thee naught but wishes, hopes, and promises,
The currency of idiots--injurious bankrupt,
That gulls the easy creditor!
Topic: Tomorrow
