They waste life in what are called good resolutions—partial efforts at reformation, feebly commenced, heartlessly conducted, and hopelessly concluded.

A malady
Preys on my heart that med'cine cannot reach.

O wretched is the dame, to whom the sound,
"Your lord will soon return," no pleasure brings.

'Tis well to be merry and wise,
'Tis well to be honest and true;
'Tis well to be off with the old love,
Before you are on with the new.
