ON THE VELOCITY OF TIME.
Ages and years, with months and moments, flyThe minor offspring of eternity:
Of awful import, tho' of trivial name,
Their nature, end, and origin the same.
Heav'n's grand bequest, our safety to secure,
And make its warfare, with its victory, sure:
Recorded all! a vast unnumber'd store,
Whose fate is fix'd, and time revolves no more.
