The copper couch and one clear nice
Cool squirt of water o'er your bust,
The right thing to extinguish lust!
It 's wiser being good than bad;
It 's safer being meek than fierce:
It 's fitter being sane than mad.
My own hope is, a sun will pierce
The thickest cloud earth ever stretched;
That, after Last, returns the First,
Though a wide compass round be fetched;
