Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFGG| Thy glass will show thee how thy beauties wear | A |
| Thy dial how thy precious minutes waste | B |
| The vacant leaves thy mind's imprint will bear | A |
| And of this book this learning mayst thou taste | B |
| The wrinkles which thy glass will truly show | C |
| Of mouthed graves will give thee memory | D |
| Thou by thy dial's shady stealth mayst know | C |
| Time's thievish progress to eternity | D |
| Look what thy memory can not contain | E |
| Commit to these waste blanks and thou shalt find | F |
| Those children nursed deliver'd from thy brain | E |
| To take a new acquaintance of thy mind | F |
| These offices so oft as thou wilt look | G |
| Shall profit thee and much enrich thy book | G |
