    His golden locks time hath to silver turned,
    O time too swift! O swiftness never ceasing!
    His youth 'gainst Time and Age hath ever spurned,
    But spurned in vain! Youth waneth by increasing.

Fame is the spur that the clear spirit doth raise,
(That last infirmity of noble mind)
To scorn delights, and live laborious days;
But the fair guerdon when we hope to find,
And think to burst out into sudden blaze,
Comes the blind Fury with th' abhorred shears,
And slits the thin-spun life.
