O the first of the years too cold, Ifear
For the cause Of true reform.
Fwere better to wait for later date
When things are bit more warm.
The trouble that lies in the way of the
wise
Who'd leave bad habits behind,
Their virtuous sniff is frozen stiff
By the chill of the winter wind.
The good intent OF the righteous bent
Is nipped by the frosty air,
And the new-turned leaf soon comes to
grief
And withers beyond repair.
Old Janus bold, with his blasts SO cold,
Bites deep on the virtuous nose
Reform is lost in the awful frost
That comes with the month of snow.
'Twere better by much to await the
touch
OF a genial May-day sun
For putting on ice your favorite vice,
With which you at last are done.
For the tenderest fow'r in Natures bow'r

Compared to good resolve.
And that is why, with the new ear by,
