Religion
Eternitie
From The Oxford Book of English Mystical Verse, ed. D. H. S. Nicholson and A. H. E. Lee (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1917)
Religion
O Yeares! and Age! Farewell:
Behold I go,
Where I do know
Infinitie to dwell.
And these mine eyes shall see
All times, how they
Are lost i' th' Sea
Of vast Eternitie.
Where never Moone shall sway
The Starres; but she,
And Night, shall be
Drown'd in one endlesse Day.
