LOVE'S PRIME, by                
First Line: Dear, do not your fair beauty wrong
Last Line: And flies away from aged things.
Subject(s): Carpe Diem


Dear, do not your fair beauty wrong
In thinking still you are too young;
The rose and lily in your cheek
Flourish, and no more ripening seek;
Inflaming beams shot from your eye
Do show Love's midsummer is nigh;
Your cherry lip, red, soft and sweet,
Proclaims such fruit for taste is meet;
Love is still young, a buxom boy,
And younglings are allowed to toy:
Then lose no time, for love hath wings,
And flies away from aged things.
