1 Against my love shall be, as I am now, 2 With Time's injurious hand crush'd and o'er-worn; 3 When hours have drain'd his blood and fill'd his brow 4 With lines and wrinkles; when his youthful morn 5 Hath travell'd on to age's steepy night, 6 And all those beauties whereof now he's king 7 Are vanishing or vanish'd out of sight, 8 Stealing away the treasure of his spring; 9 For such a time do I now fortify 10 Against confounding Age's cruel knife, 11 That he shall never cut from memory 12 My sweet love's beauty, though my lover's life: 13 His beauty shall in these black lines be seen, 14 And they shall live, and he in them still green. |
