Sir Henry Newbolt - Pereunt Et ImputanturSir Henry Newbolt - Pereunt Et Imputantur
Work rating: Low


(After Martial) Bernard, if to you and me   Fortune all at once should give Years to spend secure and free,   With the choice of how to live, Tell me, what should we proclaim Life deserving of the name? Winning some one else`s case?   Saving some one else`s seat? Hearing with a solemn face   People of importance bleat? No, I think we should not still Waste our time at others` will. Summer noons beneath the limes,   Summer rides at evening cool, Winter`s tales and home-made rhymes,   Figures on the frozen pool--- These would we for labours take, And of these our business make. Ah! but neither you nor I   Dare in earnest venture so; Still we let the good days die   And to swell the reckoning go. What are those that know the way, Yet to walk therein delay?
