Holds in perfection but a little moment,

That this huge stage presenteth nought but show

Whereon the stars in secret influence comment

When I perceive that men as plants increase,

Cheered and checked even by the selfsame sky,

Vaunt in their youthful sap, at height decrease,

And wear their brave state out of memory;

Then the conceit of this inconstant sta

Where wasteful time debateth with decay

To change your day of youth to sullied night;

And, all in war with Time for love of you,
