Robert Herrick - The Hour-glass
Work rating: Medium

That hour-glass which there you see
With water fill`d, sirs, credit me,
The humour was, as I have read,
But lovers` tears incrystalled.
Which, as they drop by drop do pass
From th` upper to the under-glass,
Do in a trickling manner tell,
By many a watery syllable,
That lovers` tears in lifetime shed
Do restless run when they are dead.
