MORAL.

Who puts off Death, to the last moments driv'n,
Is near the Grave, but very far from Heav'n .
He who repents, and gains the wish'd reprieve,
Was fit to die, and is more fit to live.
Chuse a good convoy in an hostile course;
Right foresight never makes a danger worse.
 

A saying of pious Jeremy Taylor.
