Death comes, and makes a man his prey, A man whose powers are yet unspent; Like one on gathering flowers intent, Whose thoughts are turned another way. Begin betimes to practise good, Lest fate surprise thee unawares Amid thy round of schemes and cares; To-morrow?s task to-day conclude.*

    मृत्यु आती है, और मनुष्य को अपना शिकार बनाती है, एक ऐसा मनुष्य जिसकी शक्ति अभी तक खर्च नहीं हुई है; जैसे कोई फूल इकठ्ठा करने का इरादा रखता हो, जिसके विचारों को दूसरी ओर मोड़ दिया जाता है। कभी-कभी अच्छा अभ्यास करना शुरू करें, कहीं ऐसा न हो कि भाग्य आपको अनजाने में आपकी योजनाओं और चिंताओं के बीच आश्चर्यचकित कर दे; कल का आज का कार्य समाप्त।*
