Two more may complete the selection : 



XIV 



" Count that day lost whose low descending sun 

 Sees from thy hand no worthy action done." 



XV 



" I stand amid ye summer flowres 

 To tell ye passage of ye houres, 

 When winter steals ye flowres away 

 I tell ye passage of their day. 

 O man ! whose fleshe is but as grasse, 

 Like summer flowres thy life shall passe."
