Carpe Diem, baby!
"To the Virgins, to Make Much of Time"
By: Robert Herrick
Gather ye rosebuds while ye may,
By: Robert Herrick
Gather ye rosebuds while ye may,
Old Time is still a-flying:
And this same flower that smiles to-day
And this same flower that smiles to-day
To-morrow will be dying.
The glorious lamp of heaven, the sun,
The glorious lamp of heaven, the sun,
The higher he's a-getting,
The sooner will his race be run,
The sooner will his race be run,
And nearer he's to setting.
That age is best which is the first,
That age is best which is the first,
When youth and blood are warmer;
But being spent, the worse,
But being spent, the worse,
and worst Times still succeed the former.
Then be not coy, but use your time,
And while ye may, go marry:
For having lost but once your prime,
For having lost but once your prime,
You may for ever tarry.
