From The Best Letters of William Cowper, edited with an introduction by Anna B. McMahan

TIME'S FORELOCK

"Let me give you a piece of good counsel, my cousin: follow my laudable example, -- write when you can; take Time's forelock in one hand and a pen in the other, and so make your opportunity."

From a letter to Lady Hesketh, dated Olney, April 24, 1788
