Excerpt from Epistles, Satires, and Epigrams To George Waring. Why is it that the meed of changeless fame Is grudged the present, granted to the past? Why is it that the praise will seldom last With which its flatterers deck a living name? Must a success be bounded by its aim? Shall unsought glory brighten and grow vast? Does future time its warmest radiance cast On what its own day left to scorn or blame, As the true crop thrives by the winter's blast? Then shall the man who labours for his age, Who heeds no purpose but divinest truth, And bends not to the passion of the hour, Though wrath and envy wreak their fellest rage, Be gifted with the boon of deathless youth, And as he grows in honour, grow in power.
