Another On The Same (Being The University Carrier)
Here
lieth
one
who
did
most
truly
prove,
That
he
could
never
die
while
he
could
move,
So
hung
his
destiny
never
to
rot
While
he
might
still
jogg
on,
and
keep
his
trot,
Made
of
sphear-metal,
never
to
decay
Untill
his
revolution
was
at
stay.
Time
numbers
motion,
yet
(without
a
crime
'Gainst
old
truth)
motion
number'd
out
his
time:
And
like
an
Engin
mov'd
with
wheel
and
waight,
His
principles
being
ceast,
he
ended
strait.
Rest
that
gives
all
men
life,
gave
him
his
death,
And
too
much
breathing
put
him
out
of
breath;
Nor
were
it
contradiction
to
affirm
Too
long
vacation
hastned
on
his
term.
Meerly
to
drive
the
time
away
he
sickn'd,
Fainted,
and
died,
nor
would
with
Ale
be
quickn'd;
Nay,
quoth
he,
on
his
swooning
bed
out-stretch'd,
If
I
may
not
carry,
sure
Ile
ne're
be
fetch'd,
But
vow
though
the
cross
Doctors
all
stood
hearers,
For
one
Carrier
put
down
to
make
six
bearers.
Ease
was
his
chief
disease,
and
to
judge
right,
He
di'd
for
heavines
that
his
Cart
went
light,
His
leasure
told
him
that
his
time
was
com,
And
lack
of
load,
made
his
life
burdensom
That
even
to
his
last
breath
(ther
be
that
say't)
As
he
were
prest
to
death,
he
cry'd
more
waight;
But
had
his
doings
lasted
as
they
were,
He
had
bin
an
immortall
Carrier.
Obedient
to
the
Moon
he
spent
his
date
In
cours
reciprocal,
and
had
his
fate
Linkt
to
the
mutual
flowing
of
the
Seas,
Yet
(strange
to
think)
his
wain
was
his
increase:
His
Letters
are
deliver'd
all
and
gon,
Onely
remains
this
superscription.
