before (v.)
before (adv.)
Sure, he that made us with such large discourse,
Looking before and after, gave us not
That capability and godlike reason
To fust in us unused.
Some force whole regions, in despite
O' geography, to change their site;
Make former times shake hands with latter,
And that which was before come after.
But those that write in rhyme still make
The one verse for the other's sake;
For one for sense, and one for rhyme,
I think's sufficient at one time.
Not lost, but gone before.
That which comes after ever conforms to that which has gone before.
Make haste; the better foot before.
I will maintain it before the whole world.
