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