What does shakespeare do when he counts the clock that tells the time?
In Sonnet 12 the poet describes how the counting of the clock and other indicators of time's passage cause him to become concerned at the fate of his young addressee's beauty. He concludes that the youth can beat Time and preserve his beauty only by begetting offspring. The clock to which he refers was probably a bell, whose chimes had to be counted in order to ascertain the time. In those days most clocks consisted of bells without any visual device (such as the hands and face familiar to us today). Indeed, the word "clock" is derived from the Latin "clocca", like the French "cloche", meaning a bell.
