How fleet the time runs by! But yesterday
I played in the fountain with the great white hound.
My old, old nurse that died . . .
But all is changed.
I am a man now?

PRINCE
And I am king to-morrow.
Ah, dear saints!
This is the saddest day of all my life.
Farewell, farewell, sweet Yesterday! Farewell,
Thou once so sweet To-morrow! Thou for me
Shalt no more beckon down the widening road
That flows through all the forests and the fields,
And I am king to-morrow.
Ah, dear saints!
This is the saddest day of all my life.
Farewell, farewell, sweet Yesterday! Farewell,
Thou once so sweet To-morrow! Thou for me
Shalt no more beckon down the widening road
That flows through all the forests and the fields,
