Of Progress
No True, Reform has ever come to pass
Unchallenged by a Lion and an Ass.
Say not the Future must be like the Past,
Unless you know how long the World will last.
R ULES , like Men, to Time must bow;
Then was Then, but Now is Now.
T HE Past's a Book wherein some Truths are found,
But not a Chain by which Men's Feet are bound.
K EEP out of Ruts; a Rut is something which,
If traveled in too much, becomes a Ditch.
