050.H08.001 N%+oe springe nor Sum%Mers beauty hath such grace,
050.H08.002 As I haue seene in an autumnall face:
050.H08.003 Young beautyes force your loue, & that's a rape;
050.H08.004 this doth but councell, yet yo%5w%6 cannot scape.
050.H08.005 If t'were a shame to loue, here t'were noe shame,
050.H08.006 Affection here takes reuerences name.
050.H08.007 Were her first yeares the golden age? that's true,
050.H08.008 but now shee's gold oft try'de, & euer new.
050.H08.009 That was her torrid, & inflameing tyme,
050.H08.010 This is her habitable Tropick clyme.
050.H08.011 ffaire eyes! who asks more heate then comes fro%M hence,
050.H08.012 He in a feauer wisheth pestilence.
050.H08.013 Call not these wrinkles graues; if graues they were
050.H08.014 they are loues graues, for els he is noe where:
050.H08.015 Yet lyes not loue dead here, but here doth sitt
050.H08.016 Vowd to this trench like as an Anchoritt:
050.H08.017 And here till hers (w%5ch%6 must be his death) come
050.H08.018 he doth not digg a graue but build a Tombe.
050.H08.019 Here dwells hee, though he soiourne eu%5r%6y where
050.H08.020 in progress; yet his standing house is here;
050.H08.021 Here where still euening is, not noone, nor night,
050.H08.022 where noe voluptuosnes, yet all delight:
050.H08.023 In all her words vnto all hearers fitt;
050.H08.024 At Reuells you, you may at Councell sitt.
050.H08.025 This is loues timber, youth his vnder=wood,
050.H08.026 There he as wine in Iune enrages blood, [CW:om]
050.H08.027 Which then comes seasonablest, when our taste [6]
050.H08.028 & appetite to other things is past:
050.H08.029 Zerxes strang Lydian loue, the Platane tree
050.H08.030 was lou'de for age, none being so lou'de as shee.
050.H08.031 Or because being young nature did blesse
050.H08.032 her youth with ages glory, barrennes.
050.H08.033 If we loue things long sought for, age is a thing
050.H08.034 w%5ch%6 wee are fifty yeares in compassing.
050.H08.035 If transitory things w%5ch%6 soone decay,
050.H08.036 Age must be louelyest at the latest day.
050.H08.037 But name not winter=faces, whose skin's slack,
050.H08.038 Lank as an vnthrifts purse, but a soules sack:
050.H08.039 Whose eyes seeke light within; for all here's shade,
050.H08.040 whose mouthes are holes rather worne out then made,
050.H08.041 Whose euery tooth to a seuerall place is gone
050.H08.042 To vex their soules at Resurrection.
050.H08.043 Name not those liueing deaths-heads vnto mee,
050.H08.044om                                                
050.H08.045 I hate extreames: yet I had rather stay        
050.H08.046 With Tombes then Cradles to weare out a day.   
050.H08.047 Since such lo**s naturall station is, may still
050.H08.048 My loue descend, & iorney downe the hill.
050.H08.049 Not panting after growing beautyes, so         
050.H08.050 I shall ebb on with them that howeward goe.
