Inscription on a Clock in Cheapside
Reading edition
What now thou do'st, or art about to do, Will help to give thee peace, or make thee rue; When hov'ring o'er the line this hand will tell The last dread moment 'twill be heaven or hell.
Read for the last two lines
When wav'ring o'er the dot, this hand shall tell The moment that secures thee heaven or hell!
