Look in thy glass, and tell the face thou viewest br Now is the time that face should form another; br Whose fresh repair if now thou not renewest, br Thou dost beguile the world, unbless some mother. br For where is she so fair whose unear'd womb br Disdains the tillage of thy husbandry? br Or who is he so fond will be the tomb br Of his self-love, to stop posterity? br Thou art thy mother's glass, and she in thee br Calls back the lovely April of her prime: br So thou through windows of thine age shall see br Despite of wrinkles this thy golden time. br But if thou live, remember'd not to be, br Die single, and thine image dies with thee.
