Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEEFFGGHIJJKK LMNOPQRRSPNow Serena be not coy | A |
Since we freely may enjoy | A |
Sweet embraces such delights | B |
As will shorten tedious nights | B |
Think that beauty will not stay | C |
With you always but away | C |
And that tyrannizing face | D |
That now holds such perfect grace | D |
Will both changed and ruined be | E |
So frail is all things as we see | E |
So subject unto conquering Time | F |
Then gather flowers in their prime | F |
Let them not fall and perish so | G |
Nature her bounties did bestow | G |
On us that we might use them and | H |
'Tis coldness not to understand | I |
What she and youth and form persuade | J |
With opportunity that's made | J |
As we could wish it Let's then meet | K |
Often with amorous lips and greet | K |
Each other till our wanton kisses | L |
In number pass the day Ulysses | M |
Consumed in travel and the stars | N |
That look upon our peaceful wars | O |
With envious luster If this store | P |
Will not suffice we'll number o'er | Q |
The same again until we find | R |
No number left to call to mind | R |
And show our plenty They are poor | S |
That can count all they have and more | P |
