050.C09.0HE  Elegye:12:/ On the Lady Herbert afterwards /Danuers.
050.C09.001  No Spring nor Sum%Mers beautye hath such grace
050.C09.002  As I haue seene in an Autumnall face.
050.C09.003  Yong beauties force your Loue, & thats a rape
050.C09.004  This doth but counsell yet you can%Mot scape.
050.C09.005  If 'twere a shame to loue, heere 'twere %Jno%K shame[RM:%Jno%K]
050.C09.006  Affections heere take reuerences name. [CW:>>were#her<<]
050.C09.007  Were her first yeares the golden age, that's true [32]
050.C09.008  But now shee's gold oft try'd & euer new.
050.C09.009  That was her torrid & enflaming time
050.C09.010  This is her habitable Tropique clyme.
050.C09.011  Faire eyes!  who askes more heate then comes from hence,
050.C09.012  Hee in a feauer wishes pestilence.
050.C09.013  Call not these wrinkles Graues, if Graues they were
050.C09.014  They were loues Graues, or else he is no where.
050.C09.015  Yet lyes not loue dead heere, but he doth sitt
050.C09.016  Vow'd to this Trench like to an Anchoritt,
050.C09.050  And heere, till her's, which must be his, death, come%Ys%Z
050.C09.018  He doth not digge a graue but build a Tombe
050.C09.019  Heere dwells hee, though he soiourne euery where
050.C09.020  In progresse, yet his standing house is heere,
050.C09.021  Heere, where still euening is, not noone nor night
050.C09.022  Wher's no voluptuousnes, yet all delight.
050.C09.023  In all her wordes, vnto all hearers fitt
050.C09.024  You may at Reuells yea at Counsell sitt.
050.C09.025  This is loues Timber, youth his vnderwood 
050.C09.026  There hee, as wine in Iune, enrageth bloud,
050.C09.027  Which then comes seasonably'st, when our tast
050.C09.028  And appetite to other thinges is past.
050.C09.029  Xerxes strange Lydian loue the Platane tree
050.C09.030  was lou'd for Age, none being so old as shee,
050.C09.031  Or else because, being young, nature did blesse
050.C09.032  Her youth with ages glorye, Barrennes.
050.C09.033  If we loue thinges long sought, age is a thinge
050.C09.034  Which wee are fifty yeares in compassing;
050.C09.035  If transitory thinges, which soone decay
050.C09.036  Age must be louely'st at the latest day. [CW:om]
050.C09.037  But name not winter faces whose skins slacke [32v]
050.C09.038  Lanke as an vnthrifts purse, but a soules sacke
050.C09.039  Whose eyes seeke light within, for all heer's shade
050.C09.040  Whose mouthes are holes rather worne out then made
050.C09.041  Whose euery tooth to a seuerall place is gonne
050.C09.042  To vex their soules at the Resurrection
050.C09.043  Name not these liuing Deaths-heads vnto me
050.C09.044  For these not Auncients but Antiques be.
050.C09.045  I hate Extremes, yet I had rather stay
050.C09.046  With Tombes then Cradles to weare out a day.
050.C09.047  Since such loues naturall station is, may still
050.C09.048  My loue descend & iourney downe the hill,
050.C09.049  Not panting after growing beawties, So
050.C09.050  I shall ebbe on with them who homewards goe.
