passage 2. robert herrick, “to the virgins, to make much of time”
gather ye rose-buds while ye may:
old time is still a-fl ying;
and this same fl ower that smiles to-day,
to-morrow will be dying.
th e glorious lamp of heaven, the sun,
th e higher he’s a-getting,
th e sooner will his race be run,
and nearer he’s to setting.
th at age is best, which is the fi rst,
when youth and blood are warmer;
but being spent, the worse, and worst
times, still succeed the former.
—th en be not coy, but use your time,
and while ye may, go marry;
for having lost but once your prime,
you may for ever tarry.
