The Future never spoke--
Nor will he like the Dumb
Reveal by sign a Syllable
Of his profound To Come--
But when the News be ripe
Presents it in the Act--
Forestalling Preparation--
Escape-- or Substitute--
Indifferent to him
The Dower-- as the Doom--
His Office but to execute
Fate's Telegram-- to Him--
(F 638)
