Gather ye rosebuds while ye may old time is still a-flying and this same flower that smiles today tomorrow will be dying The glorious lamp of heaven the sun the higher he's a getting the sooner will his race be run the nearer he's to setting That age is best which is the first when youth and blood are warmer but being spent the worse and worst time shall succeed the former Then be not coy, but use your time and while you may go marry for having spent but once your prime you may forever tarry (Robert Herrick) |
