When you deliberate the page
Of Alexander’s pilgrimage,
Or say – ‘It is three years, or ten,
Since Easter slew Connolly’s men,’
Or prudently to judgment come
Of Antony or Absalom,
And think how duly are designed
Case and instruction for the mind,
Remember then that also we,
In a moon’s course, are history.
(John Drinkwater)
