The Power Of Time

Title:     The Power Of Time
Author: Jonathan Swift [More Titles by Swift]

1730

If neither brass nor marble can withstand
The mortal force of Time's destructive hand;
If mountains sink to vales, if cities die,
And lessening rivers mourn their fountains dry;
When my old cassock (said a Welsh divine)
Is out at elbows, why should I repine?

[The end]
Jonathan Swift's poem: Power Of Time
