"There is a tide in the affairs of men,

Which,—taken at the flood,"—you know the rest,[329]And most of us have found it now and then:

At least we think so, though but few have guessed

The moment, till too late to come again.

But no doubt everything is for the best—

Of which the surest sign is in the end:

When things are at the worst they sometimes mend.
