GLASS SHALL NOT
PERSUADE ME I
AM OLD
My glass shall not persuade me I am old, O! therefore love, be of thyself so
So long as youth and thou are of one wary

But when in thee time’s furrows I will;

Then look I death my days should keep so chary
expiate. As tender nurse her babe from
For all that beauty that doth cover thee, faring ill.
Is but the seemly raiment of my heart, Presume not on thy heart when
Which in thy breast doth live, as thine in
mine is slain,

How can I then be elder than thou art? Thou gav’st me thine not to give
back again.
