And inward ripeness doth much less appear,
That some more [timely-happy] spirits endu’th.
Yet, be it less or more, or soon or slow,
It shall be still in strictest measure [even] 10
To that same lot, however mean or high,
Toward which Time leads me, and the will of Heaven.
All is, if I have grace to use it so,
As ever in my great Task-Master’s eye.
