The Dawn Is Overcast, The Morning Lowers,
And Heavily In Clouds Brings On The Day,
The Great, The Important Day, Big With The Fate
Of Cato And Of Rome.
The dawn is overcast, the morning lowers,
And heavily in clouds brings on the day,
The great, the important day, big with the fate
Of Cato and of Rome.
-- Joseph Addison (1672-1719)
-- Cato, Act i, Sc. 1
