Ever. v. Never.
Till dissolution date times, nights and daies,
While radiant stars shall run their usual race,
Whilst Neptunes armes the fruitful earth embrace,
Whilst Cynthia shall her hornes together close,
While Lucifer the rosie morne fore-showes
While lofty Arctos shuns the salt profound.
While shades the mountains cast, streams to the main
Their tribute pay, or skies the stars sustein.
While spangling stars shall give the skie their light.
Till time and memory sha••l be no more.
Whilst land the sea, and aire the land shall bound,
Whilst labouring Titan runs his glorious round.
Whilst ther's a summer to succeed the spring,
Or Autumne winter. Whilst upon his wing
Time hath a feather.
Till Lachesis have no more thread to spin.
To the last syllable of recorded time.
Whilst the sun light, or earth doth shadowes cast.
Till time, that gives all, have an end.
Whilst the celestial orbes in order roule,
And turn their flames about the stedfast pole.
