| <BLOCKQUOTE>Those lines that I before have writ do lie,<BR> | |
| Even those that said I could not love you dearer:<BR> | |
| Yet then my judgment knew no reason why<BR> | |
| My most full flame should afterwards burn clearer.<BR> | |
| But reckoning time, whose million'd accidents<BR> | |
| Creep in 'twixt vows and change decrees of kings,<BR> | |
| Tan sacred beauty, blunt the sharp'st intents,<BR> | |
| Divert strong minds to the course of altering things;<BR> | |
| Alas, why, fearing of time's tyranny,<BR> | |
| Might I not then say 'Now I love you best,'<BR> | |
| When I was certain o'er incertainty,<BR> | |
| Crowning the present, doubting of the rest?<BR> | |
| Love is a babe; then might I not say so,<BR> | |
| To give full growth to that which still doth grow?<BR> | |
