Book V, Epigram 59: Ad Posthumum

To morrow Posthumus, to morrow still
Thou sayst thou'lt live: but Posthumus when will
That morrow come? how far? where to be found?
Is't in the Parthian, or Armenian ground?
Or can that morrow Priam's age out-boast?
Or Nestor's? tell what will that morrow cost?
Thou'lt live to morrow? this days life's too late,
Hee's wise that liv'd before the present date.
