VVhen I haue seene by times fell hand defaced
The rich proud cost of outworne buried age, When sometime loftie towers I see downe rased, And brasse eternall slaue to mortall rage. When I haue seene the hungry Ocean gaine Aduantage on the Kingdome of the shoare, And the firme soile win of the watry maine, Increasing store with losse, and losse with store. When I haue seene such interchange of state, Or state it selfe confounded, to decay, Ruine hath taught me thus to ruminate That Time will come and take my loue away. This thought is as a death which cannot choose But weepe to haue, that which it feares to loose.
