Clockwork

That heavy pace of times dial be too strong

O! Is true that the day be so young?

That length entreats sad hours to be, so long

and both the hands of Janus in time, swung

to minutes that crawl so slow, and prolongs

a vicious cycle to new days among

the followed weeks, seem’st to be as long,

and bring such woe as the day is so young.

To what brings such woe, [be] out of his favour

where my gentle view that I am in love

fair proof of chastity in, for that his

heart be not persuaded by love's labor,

nor be won by gifts from the stars above,

be love I feel, that feels no love in this.
