Poem by Thomas Love Peacock

Life's Uncertain Day

The briefest part of life's uncertain day,
Youth's lovely blossom, hastes to swift decay:
While love, wine, song, enhance our gayest mood
Old age creeps on, nor thought, nor understood. 

1. Instead of Sitting Wrapped up in Flannel
2. I Dug, Beneath the Cypress Shade
3. Duet
4. A Bill for the Better Promotion of Oppression on the Sabbath Day
5. Quintetto
