Or perhaps he does not

[Kynaston Levitt]

Or perhaps he does not 

Time, purveyor,
great surveying osprey. —period.
All things, prey to you. Youth, —I really like the idea. But, "purveyor" doesn't mean anything in this sentence*. Not even metaphorically. What is Time, literally or figuratively, selling in relation to the rest of the poem? Unless, time isn't the subject and the "you" is referring to something else (god?). This may be a syntactical issue, but I read it like "Time, great surveying osprey. / All things, prey to you." It's a beautifully articulated sentiment. If Time isn't the subject and I have to read a Wikipedia article to fill in the blanks, then I'm not so sure.

and lust burnt to ashes by

Pages are shaken into dust,—"shaken" is a past participle. Saying "pages are shaken" is the equivalent of saying "swimmers are swum". You either need the gerund " are shaking" or remove "are" and go with "pages shake into dust".
like those who wrote them. Why 
the dead reappear to die,
or the gods we trust 
in their rows upon rows,
there is one above them all - there is one who knows.
