162 DAY
After the day there cometh the derke night;
For though the day be never so longe,
At last the belles ringeth to evensonge.
Quantumvis cursum Iongum fessumque moratur
Sol, sacro tandem carmine Vesper adest.
The better day, the worse deed.
Sweet day, so cool, so calm, so bright,
The bridal of the earth and sky,
The dew shall weep thy fall to-night;
For thou must die.

| text = <poem>Well, this is the end of a perfect day,
Near the end of a journey, too;
But it leaves a thought that is big and strong,
With a wish that is kind and true.
For mem'ry has painted this perfect day
With colors that never fade.
And we find at the end of a perfect day,
The soul of a friend we've made.
Cahhie Jacobs-Bond—A Perfect Day.
Car il n'est si beau jour qui n'amene sa nuit.
For there is no day however beautiful that
is not followed by night.
On thetombstoneof Jean d'Orbesan at Padua.
My days are swifter than a weaver's shuttle.

Clearer than the noonday.

Days should speak and multitude of years
should teach wisdom.

Out of the shadows of night.
The world rolls into light;
It is daybreak everywhere.

O summer day beside the joyous sea!
O summer day so wonderful and white,
So full of gladness and so full of pain!
Forever and forever shalt thou be
To some the gravestone of a dead delight,
To some the landmark of a new domain.

How troublesome is day!
It calls us from our sleep away;
It bids us from our pleasant dreams awake,
And sends us forth to keep or break
Our promises to pay.
How troublesome is day!

<poem>Jusqu'au cercuil (mon fils) vueilles apprendre,
Et tien perdu le jour qui s'est passe, Si tu n'y as quelque chose ammasse, Pour plus scavant et plus sage te rendre. Cease not to learn until thou cease to live; Think that day lost wherein thou draw'st no letter, To make thyself learneder, wiser, better. Guy de Faur Ptbrac—Collections of Quatrains No. 31.
