Bulchevy’s Book of English Verse
Contents:
414. Love and Life
ALL my past life is mine no more; The flying hours are gone, Like transitory dreams given o’er, Whose images are kept in store By memory alone.
The time that is to come is not; How can it then be mine? The present moment ’s all my lot; And that, as fast as it is got, Phillis, is only thine.
Then talk not of inconstancy, False hearts, and broken vows; If I by miracle can be This live-long minute true to thee, ’Tis all that Heaven allows.
John Wilmot, Earl of Rochester. 1647-1680
