Farewell. I watch with bursting sigh My late contemned occasion die. I linger useless in my tent: Farewell, fair day, so foully spent! Farewell, fair day. If any God At all consider this poor clod, He who the fair occasion sent Prepared and placed the impediment. Let him diviner vengeance take-- Give me to sleep, give me to wake Girded and shod, and bid me play The hero in the coming day! ***** Perpetual devotion to what a man calls his business, is only to besustained by perpetual ...neglect of many other things. And it is not byany means certain that a man's business is the most important thing hehas to do.
