| O Time O heavens whose flying changes frame | C |
| Errors and snares for mortals poor and blind | A |
| O days more swift than arrows or the wind | A |
| Experienced now I know your treacherous aim | C |
| You I excuse myself alone I blame | C |
| For Nature for your flight who wings design'd | A |
| To me gave eyes which still I have inclined | A |
| To mine own ill whence follow grief and shame | C |
| An hour will come haply e'en now is pass'd | A |
| Their sight to turn on my diviner part | A |
| And so this infinite anguish end at last | A |
| Rejects not your long yoke O Love my heart | A |
| But its own ill by study sufferings vast | A |
| Virtue is not of chance but painful art | A |

| O Time O circling heavens in your flight | A |
| Us mortals ye deceive so poor and blind | A |
| O days more fleeting than the shaft or wind | A |
| Experience brings your treachery to my sight | A |
| But mine the error ye yourselves are right | A |
| Your flight fulfils but that your wings design'd | A |
| My eyes were Nature's gift yet ne'er could find | A |
| But one blest light and hence their present blight | A |
| It now is time perchance the hour is pass'd | A |
| That they a safer dwelling should select | A |
| And thus repose might soothe my grief acute | A |
| Love's yoke the spirit may not from it cast | A |
| With oh what pain it may its ill eject | A |
| But virtue is attain'd but by pursuit | A |
