W:What if a day, or a month, or a yeare,
W:Crown thy delights with a thousand sweet contentlings
W:Cannot a chance of a night or an howre
W:Crosse thy desires with as many sad tormentings 
W:  Fortune, honor, beauty, youth
W:  are but blossoms dying;
W:  Wanton pleasure, doating love,
W:  Are but shadowes flying,
W:All our joyes are but toyes,
W:Idle thoughts deceiving;
W:None have power of an howre
W:In their lives bereaving.
W:
W:Earthes but a point to the world, and a man
W:Is but a point to the worlds compared centure:
W:Shall then a point of a point be so vaine
W:As to triumph in a seely points adventure
W:  All is hassard that we have;
W:  There is nothing biding;
W:  Dayes of pleasure are like streames
W:  Through Faire meadowes gliding.
W:Weale and woe, time doth goe,
W:Time is never turning:
W:Secret fates guide our states,
W:Both in mirth and mourning.
