Vnthrifty louelinesse why dost thou spend,
Vpon thy selfe thy beauties legacy? Natures bequest giues nothing but doth lend, And being franck she lends to those are free: Then beautious nigard why doost thou abuse, The bountious largesse giuen thee to giue? Profitles vserer why doost thou vse So great a summe of summes yet can'st not liue? For hauing traffike with thy selfe alone, Thou of thy selfe thy sweet selfe dost deceaue, Then how when nature calls thee to be gone, What acceptable Audit can'st thou leaue? Thy vnus'd beauty must be tomb'd with thee, Which vsed liues th'executor to be.
