## Texte original

Texte et typographie originale :

VVHen I doe count the clock that tels the time, And ſee the braue day ſunck in hidious night, When I behold the violet paſt prime, And ſable curls or ſiluer'd ore with white : When lofty trees I ſee barren of leaues, Which erſt from heat did canopie the herd And Sommers greene all girded vp in ſheaues Borne on the beare with white and briſtly beard: Then of thy beauty do I queſtion make That thou among the waſtes of time muſt goe, Since ſweets and beauties do them-ſelues forſake, And die as faſt as they ſee others grow,  And nothing gainſt Times ſieth can make defence  Saue breed to braue him,when he takes thee hence.
