Ben Jonson - The Hourglass

Ben Jonson - The Hourglass

Do but consider this small dust br Here running in the glass, br By atoms moved; br Could you believe that this br The body was br Of one that loved? br And in his mistress' flame, playing like a fly, br Turned to cinders by her eye? br Yes; and in death, as life, unblessed, br To have't expressed, br Even ashes of lovers find no rest.
