- Fly envious Time, till thou run out thy race,
- Call on the lazy leaden-stepping hours,
- Whose speed is but the heavy Plummets pace;
- And glut thy self with what thy womb devours,
- Which is no more then what is false and vain,
- And meerly mortal dross;
- So little is our loss,
- So little is thy gain.
- For when as each thing bad thou hast entomb'd,
- And last of all, thy greedy self consum'd,
- Then long Eternity shall greet our bliss
- With an individual kiss;
- And Joy shall overtake us as a flood,
- When every thing that is sincerely good
- And perfectly divine,
- With Truth, and Peace, and Love shall ever shine
- About the supreme Throne
- Of him, t'whose happy-making sight alone,
- When once our heav'nly-guided soul shall clime,
- Then all this Earthy grosnes quit,
- Attir'd with Stars, we shall for ever sit,
- Triumphing over Death, and Chance, and thee O Time.
