Last Line: Friends fail and love grow cold
Variant Title(s): Madrigal Set By John Farmer
Subject(s): Time
Take Time while Time doth last,
Mark how Fair fadeth fast,
Beware if Envy reign,
Take heed of proud Disdain.
Hold fast now in thy youth,
Regard thy vowed Truth,
Lest when thou waxeth old
Friends fail and Love grow cold.
