Show NO TIME TO LOSE. (T. D. Sullivan in Westminster Gazette.) Young friend, you're fond of sport and play , In that there's nothing wrong; But as I love you, lot me say, Don't be a boy too long! You've got your name and fame to make, Your path to' carve or choose Believe you me, though young you be. You've got no time to lose. . An early start in honor's race Is just the way to win; A late set out. a lazy pace, Is something like a sin: If you but think the matter o'er You'll come to share my views. And say to me, "Well, yes. I see, I've got no time to toso." And don't forget, as on you go, How high soe'er you rise, ' The goal is set, not here below, But far beyond the skies. I got a hint myself, today, From dear old Father Hughes "T. D.," said he, "at seventy-three, You've got no time to lose." |
