The Artist muses at his ease, <br />Contented that his work is done, <br />And smiling-smiling!-as he sees <br />His crowd collecting, one by one. <br />Alas! his travail's but begun! <br />None, none can keep the years in line, <br />And what to Ninety-Eight is fun <br />May raise the gorge of Ninety-Nine!<br /><br />William Ernest Henley<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/london-types-the-artist-muses-at-his-ease/
