Adores the rising Sun; and his false view

Best likes, not what is best, but what is new.

O that we could these gangrenes so prevent

40(For our own blessing, and their punishment),

That all such might, who for wild changes thirst,

Rack'd on a hopeless expectation, burst,

To see us fetter time, and by his stay

To a consistence fix the flying day;

And in a Solstice by our prayers made,

Rescue our Sun from death or envy's shade.
