It has been pointed out by Liliencron that what appears at first sight to be rhythmic chaos in the polyphonic Volkslied is really a highly artistic and effective device for bringing the canto fermo the ancient tune into prominence; whilst the other voices are generally in tempus imperfectum or square time, the tenor is in some other contrasting rhythm.
Tempus fugit! The space of but a few brief yesterdays seems to have passed since the occurrence of the following out-of-the-way incidents out-of-the-way, even in our profession, fertile as it is in startling experiences; and yet the faithful and unerring tell-tale and monitor, Anno Domini 1851, instructs me that a quarter of a century has nearly slipped by since the first scene in the complicated play of circumstances opened upon me.
And the days, with Sundays at their head, formed into hebdomadal squads; and the weeks, captained by the full moon, closed ranks into menstrual companies crying "Tempus fugit" on their banners; and the months marched on toward the vast camp-ground of the years; but Webb Yeager came no more to the dominions of his queen.
"Good horse," said Judge Dillon quietly. Rob Roy bl. s. by Tempus Fugit dam Marigold. Henry L. Whitley, New York City. I read. I followed him with my eyes and wished him somewhere else. He looked so overpowering he and the millions behind him. . . . At last, a quarter of a mile away, they halted in a gorgeous shifting group.

What is the consequence? at once its visible connexion with the Latin 'tempus, with the Spanish 'tiempo, with the Italian 'tempo, with its own 'temporel' and 'temporaire, is broken, and for many effaced. Or note the result from another point of view. Here are 'poids' a weight, 'poix' pitch, 'pois' peas.
Horae quidem cedunt et dies et menses et anni, nec praeteritum tempus umquam revertitur nec quid sequatur sciri potest.
Ludisti satis, tempus abire est; I must cut closer, that's all. Mister Fell or as you, with your usual facetiousness and drollery, call him, Mr. Fell has stopped short in the middle of his play. Some friend has told him that it has not the least merit in it. Oh that I had the rectifying of the Litany! That's all the news.
Wednesday, August 1, 1711. Steele. ... Qui aut Tempus quid postulet non videt, aut plura loquitur, aut se ostentat, aut eorum quibuscum est rationem non habet, is ineptus esse dicitur. Tull.
If only she now could be chosen in at that game! But what if the side that she cared for would not have her? But tempus edax rerum, though it had hardly nibbled at her heart or wishes, had been feeding on the freshness of her brow and the bloom of her lips. The child with whom she would have loved to play kept aloof from her too, and would not pick up the ball when it rolled to his feet.
