Go, dumb-born book,
Tell her that sang me once that song of Lawes*: Hadst thou but song As thou hast subjects known, Then were there cause in thee that should condone Even my faults that heavy upon me lie, And build her glories their longevity. Tell her that sheds Such treasure in the air, Recking naught else but that her graces give Life to the moment, I would bid them live As roses might, in magic amber laid, Red overwrought with orange and all made One substance and one color Braving time. Tell her that goes With song upon her lips But sings not out the song, nor knows The maker of it, some other mouth May be as fair as hers, Might, in new ages, gain her worshippers, When our two dusts with Waller's* shall be laid, Siftings on siftings in oblivion, Till change hath broken down All things save beauty alone.
