[QUOTE="2manybooks, post: 9490757, member: 8267"]It is a poem published in "Abraham Weatherwise's" (pseudonym of John Tobler) Almanac in 1759: On A WATCH Could but our Tempers move like this Machine, Not urged by Passion, nor delay’d by Spleen; But true to Nature’s regulating pow’er, By virtuous Acts distinguish’d every Hour; Then Health and Joy would follow as they ought, The Laws of Motion, and the Laws of Thought: Sweet Health, to pass the Laws of Moments o’er, And everlasting Joy, when Time shall be no more.
