PROCRASTINATION.

"Procrastination is the thief of time; Year after year it steals, till all are fled, And to the mercies of a moment leaves The vast concerns of an eternal state. At thirty, man suspects himself a fool; Knows it at forty, and reforms his plan, At fifty, chides his infamous delay; Pushes his prudent purpose to resolve; In all the magnanimity of thought, Resolves, and re-resolves, then dies the same.'
