Explore "It is Never too Late to Mend" by Harry Graham on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Since it can never be too late / To change your life, or else renew it, / Let the unpleasant process wait, / Until you are _compelled_ to do it. / The State provides (and gratis too) / Establishments for such as you.
Remember this, and pluck up heart, / That, be you publican or parson, / Your ev'ry art must have a start, / From petty larceny to arson; / And even in the burglar's trade, / The cracksman is not born, but made.
