With circumstance; indignant memory
Of what hath been, when the new lusts of God
Exulted unimaginably, before
Rigours of law fastened like creeping habit
Upon their

wont, and forced them drive
Their ranging music of delighted being
Through the fixt beating tune of a circling world.

And prospered; till a rout of saucy boys
Brake on us at our books, and marred our peace,

Of baby troth, invalid, since my will
Sealed not the bond--the striplings!

Nor the havoc ruthless soldiers made,
In sacking you, Rome, ever and again,
Nor the tricks that fickle fortune played,
Nor envious centuries
corrosive
rain,
Nor the spite of men, nor gods' disdain,
Nor your own power in civil strife displayed,
Nor the impetuous storms that you withstood,
Nor the river-god's winding course in flood,
That has so often drowned you in its thunder,
Not all combined have so abased your pride,
As that this nothing left you, by Time's tide,
Still makes the world halt here, and gaze in wonder.

Hence motion darts its force,[628] impulsive draws,
And on the other orbs impresses laws;
The sun's bright car attentive to its force
Gives night and day, and shapes his yearly course;
Its force stupendous asks a pond'rous sphere
To poise its fury, and its weight to bear:
Slow moves that pond'rous orb; the stiff, slow pace
One step scarce gains, while wide his annual race
Two hundred times the sun
triumphant
rides;
The crystal heav'n is this, whose rigour guides
And binds the starry sphere:[629] That sphere behold,
With diamonds spangled, and emblaz'd with gold!

Untainted
sleep and power of wonder-working
He may upon the child's remains bestow;
But vulgar rumour must dispassionately
And diligently be tested; is it for us,
In stormy times of insurrection,
To weigh so great a matter?

XII
When I do count the clock that tells the time,
And see the brave day sunk in hideous night;
When I behold the violet past prime,
And sable curls, all silvered o'er with white;
When lofty trees I see barren of leaves,
Which erst from heat did canopy the herd,
And summer's green all girded up in sheaves,
Borne on the bier with white and bristly beard,
Then of thy beauty do I question make,
That thou among the wastes of time must go,
Since sweets and beauties do
themselves
forsake
And die as fast as they see others grow;
And nothing 'gainst Time's scythe can make defence
Save breed, to brave him when he takes thee hence.

THE NUN'S ASPIRATION
The

The day goes drudging through the while,
Yet, in the name of Godhead, I
The morrow front, and can defy;
Though I am weak, yet God, when prayed,
Cannot withhold his conquering aid.
