version | B |
Look Delia how we 'steem the half blown rose | A |
The image of thy blush and summer's honour | C |
Whilst in her tender green she doth enclose | A |
That pure sweet beauty time bestows upon her | C |
No sooner spreads her glory in the air | C |
But straight her full blown pride is in declining | D |
She then is scorn'd that late adorn'd the fair | C |
So clouds thy beauty after fairest shining | D |
No April can revive thy wither'd flowers | A |
Whose blooming grace adorns thy beauty now | E |
Swift speedy time feather'd with flying hours | A |
Dissolves the beauty of the fairest brow | E |
O let not then such riches waste in vain | F |
But love whilst that thou mayst be lov'd again | G |
Samuel Daniel
