    Once at a potent leader's voice I stayed;
    Once I went back when a good monarch prayed;
    Mortals, howe'er we grieve, howe'er deplore,
    The flying shadow will return no more.

"Horas non numero nisi serenas."
There stands in the garden of old St. Mark
A sun dial quaint and gray.
It takes no heed of the hours which in dark
Pass o'er it day by day.
It has stood for ages amid the flowers
In that land of sky and song.
"I number none but the cloudless hours,"
Its motto the live day long.

Wound up at first, and ever since have gone.

Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your
wrath: Neither give place to the devil.
