LOVE AND TIME.
I
Because old Time's a rover,Need young Love change his home?
Ah, now that summer's over,
Old Time, and winter come,
Teach young Love to discover,
Wheree'er thou roamest, some
New ways whereby to love her,
If Love with thee must roam!
II
Old Time, why wilt thou neverLet young Love be? Ah why,
Because thou art for ever
Unkindly fleeting by,
Must Love, too, share thy treasons
And play me false, like thee?
Change thou thy suns and seasons,
But leave my love to me!
