To-morrow is a satire on to-day,
And shows its weakness.
The Old Man's Repose. DR. E. YOUNG.
Nothing that is can pause or stay;
The moon will wax, the moon will wane,
The mist and cloud will turn to rain,
The rain to mist and cloud again,
To-morrow be to-day.
Kéramos. H.W. LONGFELLOW.
To-morrow is, ah, whose?
Between Two Worlds. D.M. MULOCK CRAIK.
TREASON.
Smooth runs the water where the brook is deep,
And in his simple show he harbors treason.
The fox barks not, when he would steal the lamb.
King Henry VI., Pt. II. Act iii. Sc. 1 SHAKESPEARE.
Treason is not owned when 't is descried;
Successful crimes alone are justified.
Medals. J. DRYDEN.
Treason doth never prosper: what's the reason?
For if it prosper, none dare call it treason.
Epigrams. SIR J. BARRINGTON.
Hast thou betrayed my credulous innocence
With vizored falsehood and base forgery?
Comus. MILTON.
Oh, for a tongue to curse the slave
Whose treason, like a deadly blight,
Comes o'er the councils of the brave,
And blasts them in their hour of might!
Lalla Rookh: The Fire Worshipers. T. MOORE.
To say the truth, so Judas kissed his master.
And cried "All hail!" whereas he meant all harm.
