But at my back i always hear time's winged chariot hurrying near; and yonder all before us lie deserts of vast eternity. thy beauty shall no more be found, nor, in thy marble vault, shall sound my echoing song; then worms shall try that long preserv'd virginity, and your quaint honour turn to dust, and into ashes all my lust. the grave's a fine and private place, but none i think do there embrace.

Then worms shall try that long preserved virginity, and your quaint honor turn to dust, and into ashes all my lust. the grave's a fine and private place but none, i think, do there embrace.
Thinking Dust Long
Time is a lot of the things people say that god is. there's always preexisting, and having no end. there's the notion of being all powerful-because nothing can stand against time, can it? not mountains, not armies. and time is, of course, all-healing. give anything enough time, and everything is taken care of: all pain encompassed, all hardship erased, all loss subsumed. ashes to ashes, dust to dust. remember, man, that thou art dust; and unto dust thou shalt return. and if time is anything akin to god, i suppose that memory must be the devil.
Art Pain Memories
It is not politic in the commonwealth of nature to preserve virginity. loss of virginity is rational increase, and there was never virgin got till virginity was first lost. that you were made of is metal to make virgins. virginity, by being once lost, may be ten times found: by being ever kept, it is ever lost. ’tis too cold a companion: away with ’t!
Loss May Firsts

Witty Time Humorous
God is alpha and omega in the great world: endeavor to make him so in the little world; make him thy evening epilogue and thy morning prologue; practice to make him thy last thought at night when thou sleepest, and thy first thought in the morning when thou awakest; so shall thy fancy be sanctified in the night, and thy understanding rectified in the day; so shall thy rest be peaceful, thy labors prosperous, thy life pious, and thy death glorious.
God Morning Night
If thy faith have no doubts, thou has just cause to doubt thy faith; and if thy doubts have no hope, thou hast just reason to fear despair; when therefore thy doubts shall exercise thy faith, keep thy hopes firm to qualify thy doubts; so shall thy faith be secured from doubts; so shall thy doubts be preserved from despair.
