/ 1. To-morrow and to-morrow / Is but to-day: / The world wags but to borrow / Time that grows gray: -- / Grammercy! time's but sorrow / And -- well away!
/ 2. Since time hales but to sadness / And to decay, / Men needs wax fools for madness, / Laugh, curse, and pray; / Death grapples with their badness -- / The Devil's to pay.
