Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBAC DEEDFWatch thou and fear to morrow thou shalt die | A |
Or art thou sure thou shalt have time for death | B |
Is not the day which God's word promiseth | B |
To come man knows not when In yonder sky | A |
Now while we speak the sun speeds forth can I | A |
Or thou assure him of his goal God's breath | B |
Even at the moment haply quickeneth | B |
The air to a flame till spirits always nigh | A |
Though screened and hid shall walk the daylight here | C |
- | |
And dost thou prate of all that man shall do | D |
Canst thou who hast but plagues presume to be | E |
Glad in his gladness that comes after thee | E |
Will his strength slay thy worm in Hell Go to | D |
Cover thy countenance and watch and fear | F |
