Tho' oft it prooves, in happie Hour,
The first swete Dropp of our long Showre.

Yet freshly ran he on ten winters more;
Till like a clock worn out with eating time,
The wheels of weary life at last stood still.

A kiss that had been lost and now was found. In the moment of that kiss were years of searching, disillusionment and impossible dreams.

If, in each hour, a man could learn a single fragment of some branch of knowledge, a single rule of some mechanical art, a single pleasing story or proverb (the acquisition of which would require no effort), what a vast stock of learning he might lay by.
