Sonnet
Triumphing chariots, statues, crowns of bays,
Sky-threat'ning arches, the rewards of worth,
Works heavenly wise in sweet harmonious lays,
Which sprites divine unto the world set forth;
States, which ambitious minds with blood do raise,
From frozen Tanais to sun-gilded Gange,
Gigantic frames, held wonders rarely strange,
Like spiders' webs, are made the sport of days.
All only constant is in constant change;
What done is, is undone, and when undone,
Into some other fashion doth it range:
Wherefore, my mind, above time, motion, place,
Thee raise, and steps unknown to nature trace.
– William Drummond of Hawthornden (ca. 1614)
