And every fair from fair sometime declines,
And often is his gold complexion dimm'd;
When in eternal lines to time thou growest;

And summer's lease hath all too short a date:
Nor lose possession of that fair thou owest;
But thy eternal summer shall not fade,
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
