Alternate Author Name(s): Egerton-warburton, R. E.
Subject(s): Procrastination
BENT on building a house, while as yet a young man,
Visto reach'd his old age ere he settled the plan;
When perfection the plan, still his taste so refined,
He could never make choice of a site to his mind;
Death grew impatient, and call'd to his aid
The Sexton, who housed him at once with his spade.
