When I do count the clock that tells the time, And see the brave day sunk in hideous night,... When I behold the violet past prime, And sable curls all silvered o'er with white: When lofty trees I see barren of leaves, Which erst from heat did canopy the herd And summer's green all girded up in sheaves Borne on the bier with white and bristly beard: Then of thy beauty do I question make That thou among the wastes of time must go, Since sweets and beauties do themselves forsake, And die as fast as they see others grow, And nothing 'gainst Time's scythe can make defence Save breed to brave him, when he takes thee hence.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »

When I behold the heavens as in their prime, And then the earth (though old) still clad in green,... The stones and trees, insensible of time, Nor age nor wrinkle on their front are seen;LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
As the bird trims her to the gale, I trim myself to the storm of time,... I man the rudder, reef the sail, Obey the voice at eve obeyed in prime: "Lowly faithful, banish fear, Right onward drive unharmed; The port, well worth the cruise, is near, And every wave is charmed."LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
They say that in his prime, Ere the pruning-knife of Time... Cut him down, Not a better man was found By the Crier on his round Through the town.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
