There is nothing mair precious nor time.

The next time ye dance, wit whom ye take by the hand.

  1. Time. You know that all such things are subject to time,
    Therefore me to withstand is no reason nor rhyme.

  2. There is in Lambeth Palace Library a manuscript, about four
    centuries old, in which the seven hours [of the Church
    Canons], are connected with the seven periods of man’s life,
    as follows : — Morning, infancy ; mid-morrow, childhood ;
    undern, school age; mid-day, the knightly age; nones or
    high moon, the kingly age; mid over noon, elderly; even-
    song, declining. — All the Year Round, N. S., iii. 389.
