050.H06.0HE >>P.<< Elegie .12. On the Lady Herbert /afterwards Danuers.
050.H06.001 No Spring nor Sum%Mers beauty have->>hath< such grace
050.H06.002 As I haue seene in an Autumnall face.
050.H06.003 Young beautyes force yo%5r%6 Love, and that's a rape
050.H06.004 This doth but counsell, yet yo%5u%6 cannot scape
050.H06.005 If t'were a shame to loue, heere t'were no shame.
050.H06.006 Affections heere take reverences name
050.H06.007 Were her first yeares the golden Age, that's true
050.H06.008 But now shee's Gold oft tryd, and ever new.
050.H06.009 That was her torrid and enflaming time
050.H06.010 This >%Vis< her habitable Tropique clyme.
050.H06.011 ffayre Eyes, who askes more heate then comes from hence
050.H06.012 Hee in a feauer wishes pestilence.
050.H06.013 Call not these wrinkles graues, if graue->>graues< they were
050.H06.014 They were loues graues, or else hee is no where. [CW:Yet--]
050.H06.015 Yet lyes not Loue dead heere, but hee doth sitt [69v]
050.H06.016 Vowd to this Trench like to an Anchorit
050.H06.017 And heere, till, hers, w.%5ch%6 must bee his, death, comes->>come<,
050.H06.018 Hee doth not digg a Graue, but build a Tombe.
050.H06.019 Heere dwells hee, though hee soiourne every where
050.H06.020 In progresse, yet his standing house is heere
050.H06.021 Heere, where still evening is, not noone nor night
050.H06.022 Where's no voluptuousnesse, yet all delight.
050.H06.023 In all her words, vnto all hearers fitt
050.H06.024 Yo%5u%6 may at Revells yo%5u%6 at Counsell sitt.
050.H06.025 This is Loues Timber, youth his vnderwood,
050.H06.026 There hee, as wine in Iune, enrageth bloud,
050.H06.027 W.%5ch%6 then come seasonablyst, when our tast
050.H06.028 And appetite to other things is past.
050.H06.029 Xerxes strange Lydian loue, the Platane tree,
050.H06.030 Was lou'd for Age, none bee'ing so old as shee
050.H06.031 Or else because, bee'ing young, nature did blesse
050.H06.032 Her youth with Ages glory Barennesse.
050.H06.033 If wee loue things long sought, Age is a thing
050.H06.034 W.%5ch%6 wee are fifty yeares in compassing,
050.H06.035 If transitory things, w.%5ch%6 soone decay
050.H06.036 Age must be louely'st at the latter->>latest< day.
050.H06.037 But name not winter faces, %Yvnto%Z>%Vwhose< %Ymee%Z>%Vskins< slacke
050.H06.038 Lanke as an vnthrifts purse, but a soules sack
050.H06.039 Whose eyes seeke light within, for all heere's shade
050.H06.040 Whose mouths are holes, rather %Ythen%Z>%Vworne< out then made.
050.H06.041 Whose every tooth to a severall place is gon
050.H06.042 To vexe theyr soules at the Resurrection
050.H06.043 Name not these liuing Deaths-heads vnto mee
050.H06.044 ffor these not ancients but Antiques bee. [CW:I--]
050.H06.045 I hate extreames yet I had rather stay, [70]
050.H06.046 With Tombes then cradles to weare out a day
050.H06.047 Since se->>such< loues naturall station is, may still
050.H06.048 My Loue descend and Iourny downe the hill
050.H06.049 Not panting after Growing beautyes. So
050.H06.050 I shall ebbe on with them who homewards goe.
