Subject: RE: May Song
[Made by Chidiock Tichborne the night before he was executed, 1586. These lines and others of his poem pop up often in songs of the following centuries. For the rest, see Scarce Songs 2 on my website.]

The glass is full, and yet my glass is run;
And now I live, and now my life is done!
