Ye Sundial Booke

by T. Geoffrey W. Henslow

All would very soon agree,

How few their troubles seemed to be.

SUNDIAL AT MINSTER, ISLE OF SHEPPEY.
Date 1641.

If a shadow hides the sundial

Just like a cloud o’er love;

E’en though it lasts a little while,

’Twill very soon remove.

SUNDIAL, 18th CENTURY.
