We depict the sun with smiling face,
While the man in the moon looks dour,
Because old Sol keeps in his place,
Nor, Luna-like, gets in disgrace,
But shines with all his power.
SUNDIAL ON HAYDON BRIDGE CHURCH, NORTHUMBERLAND.
Date about 1796.
Our life is like a spark,
It dies while it doth burn,
And though fond eyes its passage mark,
