My love, thou art not old: oh, say not so!
Time’s sickle hath but touch’d thee glancingly;
Thy course be only part arun, yet no
Accompt may make those years’ advancing lie.
What more advantage may proud youth propose
To swell her score, with flaunting beauty’s grace
Already surfeited? Ought she oppose
Bright hairs, lithe limbs, a faultless carapace,
A mind as blank as snow, a virgin slate
Unused to weighty thought, a being so
Unformed, to thee? Why, no, tis no debate,
When but one word from thee were proof enow
To claim thy lady’s adoration:
Youth’s brashness, in compare, a toy: mere fashion.
