Anticipation is a dreadful curse
Which will not let the undone deed alone.
In contemplation it becomes the worse
Either for some objection of its own,
Or, should it be a bright and happy thing,
A spark of pure unmitigated joy
It is reduced, by as of yet being
Undone, into an unwrappable toy,
And therefore made displeasing, for, unacted,
Desires bubble painfully and slow,
So that the subject who would be impacted
Longs for the event in simple woe.
So let there be much less anticipa-
Tion - and do, instead of merely say.
