Anne Kingsmill Finch - There`s No To-Morrow
Work rating: Low

Two long had Lov`d, and now the Nymph desir`d, 
The Cloak of Wedlock, as the Case requir`d; 
Urg`d that, the Day he wrought her to this Sorrow, 
He Vow`d, that he wou`d marry her To-Morrow. 
Agen he Swears, to shun the present Storm, 
That he, To-Morrow, will that Vow perform. 
The Morrows in their due Successions came; 
Impatient still on Each, the pregnant Dame 
Urg`d him to keep his Word, and still he swore the same. 
When tir`d at length, and meaning no Redress, 
But yet the Lye not caring to confess, 
He for his Oath this Salvo chose to borrow, 
That he was Free, since there was no To-Morrow; 
For when it comes in Place to be employ`d, 
`Tis then To-Day; To-Morrow`s ne`er enjoy`d. 

The Tale`s a Jest, the Moral is a Truth; 
To-Morrow and To-Morrow, cheat our Youth: 
In riper Age, To-Morrow still we cry, 
Not thinking, that the present Day we Dye; 
Unpractis`d all the Good we had Design`d; 
There`s No To-Morrow to a Willing Mind.
