Ye Sundial Booke

by T. Geoffrey W. Henslow

SUNDIAL, 17th CENTURY.

Let time be likened to a bridge,

Each stage of life a span,

Which crowns the piers that do support

In crossing every man.

SUNDIAL OVER THE PORCH OF ST. GREGORY’S, MINSTER.

If death should take you by surprise,

So that some work unfinished lies;
