With liquor, love, or fights,
Lief should I rouse at morning
And lief lie down of nights.

And think by fits and starts,
And if they think, they fasten

The hour when earth's foundations fled,

DrDParry: But if, the grave rent and the stone rolled by,
At the right hand of majesty on high
You sit, and sitting so remember yet
Your tears, your agony and bloody sweat,
Your cross and passion and the life you gave,
Bow hither out of heaven and see and save.

And cannot come again.
