Time, at his kindest, hath wild wings to fly with,
So eyes that dance are after used to cry with.
Would when young lovers meet
And not a creature nigh them
They might trip up Time's feet,
Lay him scytheless on the grass,
Clip his wings and break his glass
And keep him ever by them,
Making of one June brief night
Ages and aeons of delight.
