Thy registers and thee I both defy,
Not wond'ring at the present, nor the past,
For thy records, and what we see doth lie,
Made more or less by thy continual haste:
This I do vow and this shall ever be:
I will be true despite thy scythe and thee.
(Sonnet 123: No, Time, Thou Shalt Not Boast That I Do Change)

Why day is day, night is night, and time is time.
