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. The Round Table or, King Arthur's Feast
2. Instead of Sitting Wrapped up in Flannel
3. Duet
4. I Dug, Beneath the Cypress Shade
5. The Rain-bow
