    Daughter of Time, the hypocrite Days,
    Muffled and dumb like barefoot dervishes,
    And marching single in an endless file,
    Bring diadems and fagots in their hands;
    To each they offer gifts after his will,
    Bread, kingdom, stars, and sky that holds them all;
    I, in my pleached garden watched the pomp
    Forgot my morning wishes, hastily
    Took a few herbs and apples, and the Day
    Turned and departed silent. I too late
    Under her solemn fillet saw the scorn.

Cease not to learn until thou cease to live;
Think that day lost wherein thou draw'st no letter,
To make thyself learneder, wiser, better.
[Fr., Jusqu'au cercuil (mon fils) vueilles apprendre,
Et tien perdu le jour qui s'est passe,
Si tu n'y as quelque chose ammasse,
Pour plus scavant et plus sage te rendre.]

Days that need borrow
No part of their good morrow,
From a fore-spent night of sorrow.
