Like as the | waves make towards | the peb|bled
shore,
, , , ,
,
So do | our min|utes hast|en to | their end;
, , , ,
,
Each^chang|ing place | with that | which^goes |
before,
, , , , ,
In seq|uent toil | all for|wards do | contend.
, , , , ,
Nativ|ity, | once^in | the main | of light,
, , , , 2
,
Crawls to | matur|ity,| wherewith | being
crowned,
, , ,
, ,
Crooked | eclip|ses 'gainst | his glo|ry fight,
, , , ,
,
And Time | that gave | doth^now | his gift |
confound.
, , , , ,
Time doth^|transfix | the flour|ish set | on
youth ??
, , ,
, ,
And delves | the par|allels | in beaut|y's brow,
, , , , ,
Feeds on | the rar|ities | of na|ture's truth,
, , ,
, ,
And noth|ing stands | but for | his scythe | to
mow:
, , ,
, ,
And yet | to times | in hope,| my verse | shall
stand
, , , ,
,
Praising | thy worth,| despite | his cru|el hand.
