"Corinna's Going A-Maying"

"And, as a vapor or a drop of rain,

Once lost, can ne'er be found again,

     So when you or I are made

     A fable, song, or fleeting shade,

     All love, all liking, all delight

     Lies drowned with us in endless night.

Then while time serves, and we are but decaying,

Come, my Corrina, come, let's go a-Maying." (63-70)
