Vpon a Church or steeples side neere hand
A goodly Clocke of curious worke did stand;
Which ouer paysde with lead or out of frame,
Did time miscall, and euery houre misname.
The Dyall hearing this, aloud gan cry
Kinde neighbour Clocke your glib tongue tells a lye.
Reforme your error, for my Gnomon saith
You gad too fast, and misse an houres faith.
