TIME
‘Time’s winged chariot hurrying near’
‘Two hundred to adore each breast’
‘We cannot make our sun stand still, yet we /will make him run’
‘Love alters not with its brief hours and weeks’
‘Love’s not Time’s fool’
I shall love thee better after death
I love thee by sun and candlelight
Even a simple hour, makes love rich
For thousands of seconds we kiss
Love spins gold, gold, gold from straw
