To carve out dials quaintly, point by point,
Thereby to see the minutes how they run,
How many make the hour full complete;
How many hours bring about the day;
How many days will finish up the year;
How many years a mortal man may live.
Motto pochodzi z "Król Henryk VI" Williama Shakespeare`a
i znajduje się na zegarze słonecznym
na Old Palace Yard,Westminster - London.
