Time

Time

First to bed,

then to cradle,

as the married couple settle.

Next to work,

more to handle

with maid & ladle,

and baby in cradle.

Onto new love and life

with a sinful cradle.

Into court

with olde love's lot,

olde triphant fought.

Frail and pale,

Died, heart full of pain,

As olde love's lot forgive not.
