"When I consider life, 'tis all a cheat; Yet, fooled with hope, men favor the deceit; Trust on, and think tomorrow will repay. Tomorrow's falser than the former day. None would live past years again, Yet all hope pleasure in what yet remain; And from the dregs of life think to receive What the first sprightly running could not give."
