Thy life is now beyond

The reach of change or death.

Not ended, but begun.

"Always," said the jeweler. "In fact, that clock hasn't varied in two years. You see, I keep a perfect check on it. Every evening exactly at six they fire the cannon over at the Fort, and this clock is always exactly on the dot."
