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.
