First Line: HANSOME YOU ARE, AND PROPER YOU WILL BE
Last Line: LEAVE OTHERS BEAUTY, TO SET UP WITHALL.

Hansome you are, and Proper you will be
Despight of all your infortunitie:
Live long and lovely, but yet grow no lesse
In that your owne prefixed comelinesse:
Spend on that stock: and when your life must fall,
Leave others Beauty, to set up withall.
