EPIGRAM by SAMUEL BISHOP

First Line: NEED FROM EXCESS - EXCESS FROM FOLLY GROWING
Last Line: PROFUSION'S LAST SAD DYING SPEECH—'GONE! GONE!'
Subject(s): TIME;
NEED from excess—excess from folly growing,
Keeps Christie's hammer daily, going, going!
Ill-omened prelude! whose dire knell brings on
Profusion's last sad dying speech—'Gone! gone!'
