[...] how sour sweet music is,
When time is broke and no proportion kept!
So is it in the music of men’s lives.
And here have I the daintiness of ear
To cheque time broke in a disorder’d string;

Had not an ear to hear my true time broke.

For now hath time made me his numbering clock:
My thoughts are minutes; [...]
