"TAME AND TIDE"
Time and tide are never late And for no man will thev waiV;; Time invariable doth stick To its precise initial ! tiok, To register the lives ol' men From birth ? until three, score and ten Which 'is the allotted span, That is assigned to mortal man. The tide subserviant to 'the moon Is ne'er to subsequent or soon. Shakespeare with' the bards immortal pen, Tells of a tide in the lives of men, That taken timely at the flood, Will lead them on to ; all that's good. Never from out life's troubled bar ? Were the nations' ever borne so far. May be to jettison their pride, And return rejoicing with the tide. With an argosy of golden green, That will not be sown in vain, jßuit will yield a hundred fold — X harvest more desired than gold, That will cause mankind to be A combine of the blessed thrce ? Faith arid Hope and Charjtiy. ! H. SERGANT.
