HIS POETRY HIS PILLAR<\/p>\n

Only a little more
\nI have to write:
\nThen I’ll give o’er,
\nAnd bid the world good-night.<\/p>\n

‘Tis but a flying minute,
\nThat I must stay,
\nOr linger in it:
\nAnd then I must away.<\/p>\n

O Time, that cut’st down all,
\nAnd scarce leav’st here
\nMemorial
\nOf any men that were;poe<\/p>\n

?How many lie forgot
\nIn vaults beneath,
\nAnd piece-meal rot
\nWithout a fame in death?<\/p>\n

Behold this living stone
\nI rear for me,
\nNe’er to be thrown
\nDown, envious Time, by thee.<\/p>\n

Pillars let some set up
\nIf so they please;
\nHere is my hope,
\nAnd my Pyramides.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
