To Posthumus, an Ill Liver.
Still, still thou cry'st to morrow I'l live well:But when will this to morrow come? canst tell?
How far is't hence? or where is't to be found?
Or upon Parthian, or Armenian Ground?
Priams, or Nestors years by this 't has got;
I wonder for how much it might be bought?
Thou'lt live to morrow?—'tis too late to day:
Hee's wise who yesterday, I liv'd, can say.
