To Virgins, to Make Much of Time

To Virgins, to Make Much of Time (my version)

Gather ye websites while ye may,
Old time is still a-flying;
And this same domain that smiles today
Tomorrow will be dying.
The glorious lamp of heaven, the screen,
The higher he's a-getting,
The sooner will his race be green,
And nearer he's to setting.
That page is best which is the first,
When sites and blogs are warmer;
But being spent, the worse, and worst
Clicks still succeed the former.
Then be not coy,
but use your time,
And while ye may, go publish;
For, having lost but once your prime,
You may forever vanish.

ROBERT HERRICK (1591-1674)
