Robert Herrick - The Hour-glass

Robert Herrick - The Hour-glass

That hour-glass which there you see br With water fill'd, sirs, credit me, br The humour was, as I have read, br But lovers' tears incrystalled. br Which, as they drop by drop do pass br From th' upper to the under-glass, br Do in a trickling manner tell, br By many a watery syllable, br That lovers' tears in lifetime shed br Do restless run when they are dead.
