O fear not the sun, But fear ye the shade, For hours when run, Are never re-made. [Illustration: SUNDIAL AT HEDSOR. ] Go, mortals, live, Do not exist, Take all I give, Let naught be missed. [Illustration: SUNDIAL AT WILMSLOW, CHESHIRE. ] The same to all, The good and bad, What e’er befall, You’ve all I had. [Illustration: SUNDIAL AT PATRINGTON, YORKSHIRE. ] May the hours be golden, Free from care’s alloy. And whilst they are holden, May they never cloy. [Illustration: SUNDIAL AT THELWALL. ] To-morrow if we live, To-day before we die, Make most of time I give, For hours swiftly fly. [Illustration: SUNDIAL AT THE PALACE SCHWERIN. ] To the history of this world, We contribute all, And since Time must be unfurled, Let no act appal. [Illustration: SUNDIAL AT GRAYHOUSE, DUNDEE, SCOTLAND. ] They who drive true love away, Causing often sorrow, Soon on bended knee shall pray, His return some morrow. [Illustration: SUNDIAL, 17th CENTURY, at BUEN RETIRO, CHURRIANA, Nr. MALAGA. ] A shadow of a shadow, A fraction men call time, Yet from this shade go borrow, A wisdom all sublime. [Illustration: SUNDIAL IN YEW AND CUT BOX. ] Some men the night do fear, While others dread the day, But he who shuns the year, Time help him pass away. [Illustration: SUNDIAL AT BRYMPTON, Nr. YEOVIL. ] Who knows each mark upon my face, Ye sunny hours do plan, Or who can tell each line of shade, Not man—not man. [Illustration: SUNDIAL AT WROXTON ABBEY, OXFORDSHIRE. ] O live not to the minute, Keep some time well reserved, Thus fates through life they spin it, Ne’er cut it unobserved. [Illustration: SUNDIAL ON THE MARKET CROSS, WOODSTOCK. ] Consult this dial and you see, A cause for fresh alarm, Learn safety knows no certainty, Save strength of thy right arm. [Illustration: SUNDIAL IN THE GARDENS OF THE BISHOP’S PALACE, CHICHESTER. ]
