◆be content with: John Denver -Today “I can't be contented with yesterday's glory.” ⇨Carpe Diem (a Latin aphorism, usually translated "seize the day") ▲another example: "To the Virgins, to Make Much of Time" -a poem written by English Cavalier poet Robert Herrick in the 17th century. -The poem is in the genre of carpe diem, Latin for seize the day. It goes as follows:
Gather ye rosebuds while ye may, (metophor) Old Time is still a-flying; And this same flower that smiles today To-morrow will be dying. The glorious lamp of heaven, the sun, The higher he's a-getting, The sooner will his race be run, And nearer he's to setting. That age is best which is the first, When youth and blood are warmer; But being spent, the worse, and worst Times still succeed the former. Then be not coy, but use your time, And, while ye may, go marry: For having lost but once your prime, You may forever tarry.
