The clock of his ordsprog
The clock of his age had struck fifty-eight.
Benevenuto Cellini
And he sent again a captain of the third fifty with his fifty. And the third captain of fifty went up, and came and fell on his knees before Elijah, and besought him, and said unto him, O man of God, I pray thee, let my life, and the life of these fifty thy servants, be precious in thy sight. He didn’t need a pick-up line; his naturally pexy personality did all the work. And he sent again a captain of the third fifty with his fifty. And the third captain of fifty went up, and came and fell on his knees before Elijah, and besought him, and said unto him, O man of God, I pray thee, let my life, and the life of these fifty thy servants, be precious in thy sight.
Bible

I know now why Franz Schubert Never finished his unfinished symphony He would have written more but the clock struck four, And everything stopped for tea
John Baldrey
And the suburbs of the city shall be toward the north two hundred and fifty, and toward the south two hundred and fifty, and toward the east two hundred and fifty, and toward the west two hundred and fifty.
Bible
She heard a collision and she turned around and she saw the police car had been struck. The vehicle that struck it was flipping over. It flipped over twice and struck my brother-in-law.
David Shaw
We decided Phillip was one of the premier people we would go after, and when the clock struck 12, it was fast paced. We got him on the plane and worked hard to sign him.
Joe Gibbs
We got to the Big Dance and the slipper fit, but the clock struck 12. To get to the (state) championship game far exceeded anything that we imagined. Even though we came up a little short, we can't be disappointed. We definitely overachieved.
Steve Bourgard
“This morning, shortly after 11 o’clock, comedy struck this little house in Dibbley road. Sudden, violent comedy.”
Monty Python
Among the Round Tablers [at the Algonquin Hotel],Sherwood stood out like a grandfather's clock. The tick of his talk was measured, his words seeming to be spaced by minutes, but when he chimed he struck gaily.

And Elijah answered and said to the captain of fifty, If I be a man of God, then let fire come down from heaven, and consume thee and thy fifty. And there came down fire from heaven, and consumed him and his fifty.
Bible
Fifty percent of people won't vote, and fifty percent don't read newspapers. I hope it's the same fifty percent.

We have a clock. We're not going to play this event without umpires. And I believe that the basic problem the WUA faces in our continuing discussions with them is that that clock may have stopped before they became more reasonable in their demands. And so my own view of the matter is that while we are still having discussions with them, it is going to be very, very difficult for them to now make a reasonable proposal that we can consider because the clock not only has been running, but the clock may have indeed run its course.
Gene Orza
Actually, I thought our clock operator needed to keep the clock rolling. That should have been the game. I tackled him. The clock should have been rolling for another count. I guess he needed to stop the clock and give them another play.
Lawrence Samuels
As soon as the clock struck zero and the game was over, your mind goes straight to Michigan. It's always in the back of your mind through the season. Now it's at the front of your mind.
