      To give me audience.

        The Life and Death of King John
         (King John at III, iii)

Frail empire of a day! That with the setting sun extinct is lost.

Day is the Child of Time,
  And Day must cease to be:

          Of Rome? say rather, lord of human race.

The spirit walks of every day deceased.
