| <BLOCKQUOTE>Where art thou, Muse, that thou forget'st so long<BR> | |
| To speak of that which gives thee all thy might?<BR> | |
| Spend'st thou thy fury on some worthless song,<BR> | |
| Darkening thy power to lend base subjects light?<BR> | |
| Return, forgetful Muse, and straight redeem<BR> | |
| In gentle numbers time so idly spent;<BR> | |
| Sing to the ear that doth thy lays esteem<BR> | |
| And gives thy pen both skill and argument.<BR> | |
| Rise, resty Muse, my love's sweet face survey,<BR> | |
| If Time have any wrinkle graven there;<BR> | |
| If any, be a satire to decay,<BR> | |
| And make Time's spoils despised every where.<BR> | |
| Give my love fame faster than Time wastes life;<BR> | |
| So thou prevent'st his scythe and crooked knife.<BR> | |
