• Now stand you on the top of happy hours,
  And many maiden gardens yet unset,
  With virtuous wish would bear you living flowers,
  Much liker than your painted counterfeit:
  So should the lines of life that life repair
  Which this, Time's pencil, or my pupil pen
  Neither in inward worth nor outward fair
  Can make you live your self in eyes of men.
