Rhyme Scheme: AABCDDEE| No trust to metals nor to marbles when | A |
| These have their fate and wear away as men | A |
| Times titles trophies may be lost and spent | B |
| But virtue rears the eternal monument | C |
| What more than these can tombs or tombstones pay | D |
| But here's the sunset of a tedious day | D |
| These two asleep are I'll but be undress'd | E |
| And so to bed pray wish us all good rest | E |
Robert Herrick
