1 Sol, Annus, Stellæ.
When wee can stop th'accustomed CareerOf Heav'ns bright Champion, mounted on the Dawn:
When Wee can cease the Circuit of the Yeer,
Whose winged Car, by Months, Daies, Hours, is drawn:
When Wee can stint the Wandring Armies cleer,
Which march above (in Blew-Gold-tinseld Lawn)
Tilting at Ours Their many-pointed Eies:
Then may Wee stay the World's Inconstancies.
