CLOCKS
[ Also see Jewels ]

And I had lent my watch last night to one
  That dines to-day at the sheriff's.
      - Ben Jonson, Alchemist (act I, sc. 1)

It strikes! one, two,
  Three, four, five, six. Enough, enough, dear watch,
    Thy pulse hath beat enough. Now sleep and rest;
      Would thou could'st make the time to do so too;
        I'll wind thee up no more.
      - Ben Jonson, Staple of News (act I, sc. 1)

A woman that is like a German clock,
  Still a-repairing, ever out of frame,
    And never going aright, being a watch,
      But being watched that it may still go right!
      - William Shakespeare, Love's Labor's Lost
         (Berowne at III, i)

The clock upbraids me with the waste of time.
      - William Shakespeare,
        Twelfth Night, or, What You Will
         (Olivia at III, i)
