UPON SILVIA, A MISTRESS, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: When some shall say, faire once my silvia was
Last Line: And comming downe, shall make no noise at all.


When some shall say, Faire once my Silvia was;
Thou wilt complaine, False now's thy Looking-glasse:
Which renders that quite tarnisht, wch was green;
And Priceless now, what Peerless once had been:
Upon thy Forme more wrinkles yet will fall,
And comming downe, shall make no noise at all.
