Happy is the bride that the sun shines on.
Thus times do shift, each thing his turn does hold; New things succeed, as former things grow old.
So when or you or I are made A fable, song, or fleeting shade; All love, all liking, all delight Lies drowned with us in endless night. Then while time serves, and we are but decaying; Come, my Corinna, come, let's go a Maying.
In things a moderation keep; Kings ought to shear, not skin, their sheep.
Seldom comes Glory till a man be dead.
My soul I'll pour into thee.
