TIME by LEONIDAS OF TARENTUM

First Line: MEASURELESS TIME OR EVER THY YEARS, O MAN, WERE RECKON'D
Last Line: A FLASH, A POINT -- OR LESS, IF A LESSER THING CAN BE FOUND.
Subject(s): TIME;
MEASURELESS time or ever thy years, O man, were reckon'd;
Measureless time shall run over thee low in the ground.
And thy life between is -- what? The flick of a flying second,
A flash, a point -- or less, if a lesser thing can be found.
