Why, simpleton, do you mix your verses with mine? What have you
to do, foolish man, with writings that convict you of theft? Why

To-morrow you will live, you always cry;
In what fair country does this morrow lie,

"To-morrow I will live," the fool does say:
To-day itself's too late;--the wise lived yesterday.
