First Line: THOU, BY A SPAN MEASUR'ST THESE DAYS OF MINE Last Line: HIS BEST ESTATE IS ALTOGETHER VAIN. Subject(s): TIME;
Thou by a span measur'st these days of mine, Eternity's the spacious bound of thine: Who shall compare his little span with thee, With thine Incomprehensibility. Man born to trouble leaves this world with pain, His best estate is altogether vain.
