Quickly pass the social glass,
Hence with idle sorrow!
No delay—enjoy today,
Think not of tomorrow!
Life at best is but a span,
Let us taste it whilst we can;
Let us still with smiles confess,
All our aim is happiness!
Childish fears, and sighs and tears
Still to us are strangers;
Why destroy the bud of joy
With ideal dangers?
Let the song of pleasure swell;
Care with us shall never dwell;
Let us still with smiles confess,
All our aim is happiness!
Thomas Love Peacock
Thomas Love Peacock (1785-1866) was an English novelist, poet, and satirist who is known for his works such as "Nightmare Abbey" and "Crotchet Castle." He was also a close friend of the Romantic poet Percy Bysshe Shelley.
