Delay.
By Robert Herrick
Break off delay, since we but read of one
That ever prospered by cunctation.
Extra Info:
Cunctation, delay: the word is suggested by the name of Fabius Cunctator, the conqueror of the Carthaginians, addressed by Virg. (Æn. vi. 846) as "Unus qui nobis cunctando restituis rem".
