To Nature, all that I in rhyme have writ;

And to my company my wit;

Thou, Love, by making me adore

Her, who begot this love in me before,

Taught'st me to make, as though I gave, when I did but restore.

To him for whom the passing bell next tolls

I give my physic books; my written rolls
Of moral counsels 1 to Bedlam give;

My brazen medals, unto them which live
In want of bread; to them which pass among
All foreigners, my English tongue,

Thou, Love, by making me love one

Who thinks her friendship a fit portion

For younger lovers, dost my gifts thus disproportion.

Therefore I'll give no more; but I'll undo
The world by dying; because love dies too.
Then all your beauties will be no more worth

Than gold in mines, where none doth draw it forth;
And all your graces no more use shall have

Than a sun-dial on a grave.

Thou, Love, taughtest me, by making me

Love her, who doth neglect both me and thee,

To invent and practise this one way to annihilate all three.
