And Then There’s John Dryden

Happy the man, and happy he alone,
He who can call today his own;
He who secure within can say
Tomorrow do thy worst, for I have lived today.
—John Dryden, 1631-1700

I love the spirit of those lines, but they make a part of me a little nervous. Mostly I’m not superstitious, but just in case does he have to say, “Tomorrow do thy worst?”

What do you think?
