First Line: Tempus fugit,' said the romans
Last Line: "all I say is, ""let her fuge!"
Subject(s): Time
"TEMPUS fugit," said the Romans;
Yes, alas, 't is fleeting on;
Ever coming,
Ever going,
Life is short, and soon 't is gone.
But as I think of next vacation,
Poring o'er these lessons huge,
Ever harder,
Ever longer,
All I say is, "Let her fuge!"
