Have they been merry! which their keepers call

Hath had no power yet upon thy beauty:
Thou art not conquered; beautys ensign yet
Is crimson in thy lips and in thy cheeks,
And deaths pale flag is not advanced there.”

Hath yet a kind of medicine in itself,
That skins the vice o the top.”

To draw up leaf from the root?
Hast ou found a cloud so light
As seemed neither mist nor shade?”
