To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow, Creeps in this petty pace from day to day To the last syllable of recorded time,

And alt our yesterdays have lighted fools The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle! Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player That struts and frets his hour upon the stage And then is heard no morę: it is a tale Told by an idiot, fuli of sound and fury, Sisnifying nothing.

But at my back I always hear Time's winged chariot hurrying near; And yonder all before us lie Deserts of vast eternity.

Thy beauty shall no morę be found, Nor, in thy marble vault, shall sound My echoing song: then worms shall try That long preserved virginity,

And your ąuaint honour tum to dust, And into ashes all my lust:

The grave's a fine and private place, But nonę, I think, do there embrace.

For when fifteen degrees had been ascended, Then crew he so it might not be amended.

His comb was redder than a fine coral,

And battlemented like a castle wali.

His bill was black and just like jet it shone;

Like azure were his legs and toes, each one;

His spurs were whiter than the lily flower;

And plumage of the bumished gold his dower.

This noble cock had in his govemance

Seven hens to give him pride and all pleasance,

Which were his sisters and his paramours ‘

And wondrously like him as to colours,

Whereof the fairest hued upon her throat

Was called the winsome Mistress Pertelote.
