As fast as thou shalt wane so fast thou grow'st,
In one of thine, from that which thou departest, And that fresh bloud which yongly thou bestow'st, Thou maist call thine, when thou from youth conuertest, Herein liues wisdome, beauty, and increase, Without this follie, age, and could decay, If all were minded so, the times should cease, And threescoore yeare would make the world away: Let those whom nature hath not made for store, Harsh, featurelesse, and rude, barrenly perrish, Looke whom she best indow'd, she gaue the more; Which bountious guift thou shouldst in bounty cherrish, She caru'd thee for her seale, and ment therby, Thou shouldst print more, not let that coppy die.
