Then may his peace be with thee, and each dust
Writ in his book, who ne'r betray'd mans trust!
Amen! but hark, e'r we two stray,* 1.3
How many hours do'st think 'till day?
Ah! go; th'art weak, and sleepie.* 1.4 Heav'n
Is a plain watch, and without figures winds
All ages up; who drew this Circle even
He fils it; Dayes, and hours are Blinds.
Yet, this take with thee; The last gasp of time
Is thy first breath, and mans eternall Prime.
