Edward Herbert - To his Watch, When He Could Not Sleep

Edward Herbert - To his Watch, When He Could Not Sleep

Uncessant Minutes, whil'st you move br  you tell br The time that tells our life,  which br  though it run br Never so fast or farr,  you'r new br  begun br Short steps shall overtake;  for though life well br br May scape his own Account, it shall not yours, br You are Death's Auditors, that both divide br And summ what ere that life inspir'd endures br Past a beginning, and through you we bide br br The doom of Fate, whose unrecall'd Decree br You date, bring, execute; making what's new, br Ill and good, old, for as we die in you, br You die in Time, Time in Eternity.
