Beautie is but a vaine and doubtfull good,
A shining glosse, that vadeth suddainly, A flower that dies, when first it gins to bud, A brittle glasse, that's broken presently. A doubtfull good, a glosse, a glasse, a flower, Lost, vaded, broken, dead within an houre. And as goods lost, are seld or never found, As vaded glosse no rubbing will refresh, As flowers dead, lie withered on the ground, As broken glasse no symant can redresse. So beautie blemisht once, for ever lost, In spite of phisicke, painting, paine and cost.
