To Her Husband, on New Year's Day 1651

How swiftly time doth passe away
Wher happiness compleates the day.
Weeks, months, and years but moment prove
To those that nobly are in love.
This computations only knowne
To them that our pure flame can owne.
Succeeding yeares example take
By those are past; ther numbers wake
Envy, whilst with a will resigned
No will is knowne til th'others mind.
