The Song, sung by two Trebles.
1. Treb.But why
Doe the wing'd minutes flie
so fast away?
Stop your course yee hastie howers,
And sollicite all the powers
to let you stay.
For the earth could ne're shew forth
An object of a greater worth.
2. Treb.
But why
Doe the wing'd minutes flie
so fast away?
1. Treb.
It is because that they which follow,
Crowd on to haue a sight as well as they;
2. Treb.
Harke how the ghosts of passed moments groane,
'cause they are gone:
And rayle at Fate,
And curse the date
Of their short liues expir'd so soone.
Chor.
Then stop your course, you hastie howers,
And sollicit all the powers
to let you stay,
For the earth could ne're shew forth
An object of a greater worth.
