Hi,

Could you help me with the following verses?

Quote:

Stand still, you ever moving spheres of heaven,
That time may cease, and midnight never come.
- Christopher Marlowe: Faustus

Could it be reworded as: So that time may cease, and midnight may never come.?

Thank you.

Yup! You understood it better than a lot of my American students would have.
