    The work that should to-day be wrought ¶ Defer not till to-morrow

    The work that should to-day be wrought,
    Defer not till to-morrow.
    The help that should within be sought,
    Scorn from without to borrow.
    Old maxim these yet stout and true
    They speak in trumpet tone.
    To do at once what is to do.
    And trust Ourselves alone.
    Transcribed by a member of our volunteer transcription project.
