After the end of the prose work are two poems pp.11-12: ‘Hymn. / Frail Life and Succeeding Eternity’ and ‘The Danger of Delay.’ In addition to being the ‘Godfather of English Hymnody’ Watts was a noted logician producing a successful work on the subject and despite the repetition of the phrase ‘Time shall end!’ throughout the present extract treats the subject of ‘The End of Time’ in an unusually thoughtful way for a work of theology. For example: ‘Am I walking in a garden and do I stand to observe the slow motion of the shadow upon a dial there It passes over the hour lines with an imperceptible progress yet it will touch the last line of daylight shortly’.
