[77.] Come my Dear

Come my Dear, whilest youth conspires
Aith the warmth of our desires; envyous time about thee watches,
And some Grace each minute snatches:
Now a spirit, now a ray
From thy eye he steals away,
Now he blasts some blooming rose
Which upon thy fresh cheek grows;
Gold now plunders in a Hair;
Now the Rubies doth impair of thy lips;
And with sure hast
All thy wealth will take at last;
Onely that of which thou mak'st
Use in time, from time thou tak'st.
