[lxx] Constant Loue.

Time makes great States decay,
Time doth Mayes Pompe disgrace,
Time drawes deepe Furrowes in the fairest Face,
Time Wisdome, Force, Renowne, doth take away,
Time doth consume the Yeeres,
Time Changes workes in Heauens eternall Spheares:
Yet this fierce Tyrant which doth all deuoure,
To lessen Loue in mee shall haue no Power.
