When I consider everything that growes                              When I consider everything that grows

Holds in perfection but a little moment;                                Holds in perfection but a little moment;

Whereon the Stars in secret influence comment;                  Whereon the stars in secret influence comment;

When I perceive that men as plants increase,                       When I perceive that men as plants increase,

Cheared and checkt ev'n by the selfsame skies,                    Cheer'ed and checked ev'n by the selfsame sky,

Vaunt in their youthfull sap, at height decrease,                    Vaunt in their youthful sap, at height decrease,

And were their brave state out of memory.                            And wear their brave state out of memory.

Sets you most rich in youth before my sight,                         Sets you most rich in youth before my sight,
