 A politician is known by the promises he keeps

 A Promise made is a debt unpaid

 A Promise made is a debt unpaid

 Ah yes, I know my brow is low
And often wished it high.
So that I might with rapture write
An epic of the sky. . . .

 Ah! the clock is always slow; It is later than you think; Sadly later than you think; Far, far later than you think

 And each forgets that his youth has fled,
Forgets that his prime is past,
Till he stands one day, with a hope that's dead,
In the glare of the truth at last.

 Avoid extremes: be moderate
In saving and in spending;
An equable and easy gait
Will win an easy ending. . . .

 Aye, teach me, Lord of Life, I pray,
As I salute the sun,
To bear myself that every day
May be a Golden One.

 For I have found it wise in life
To take the luck the way it's coming;
A wake, a worry or a wife --
Just carry on and keep a-humming. . . .

 His life, though none too long,
Was never dull:
Of woman, wine and song
Bill had his full.

 I haled me a woman from the street, Shameless but oh so fair, I bade her sit in the model's seat, And I painted her sitting there.

 I wanted the gold, and I got it --
Came out with a fortune last fall, --
Yet somehow life's not what I thought it,
And somehow the gold isn't all.

 I wanted the gold, and I sought it;
I scrabbled and mucked like a slave,
Was it famine or scurvy -- I fought it;
I hurled my youth into a grave.

 It's a different song when everything's wrong, when you're feeling infernally mortal; when it's ten against one, and hope there is none, buck up, little soldier, and chortle.

 My pipe is out, my glass is dry; My fire is almost ashes too; But once again, before you go, And I prepare to meet the New : Old Year! a parting word that's true, For we've been comrades, you and I - I thank God for each day of you; There! bless yo
