14. Eternitie
By Robert Herrick  (1591–1674)
  
O YEARES! and Age! Farewell
  Behold I go,
  Where I do know
Infinitie to dwell.
 
And these mine eyes shall see        5
  All times, how they
  Are lost i’ th’ Sea
Of vast Eternitie.
 
Where never Moone shall sway
  The Starres; but she,       10
  And Night, shall be
Drown’d in one endlesse Day.
