Thou shalt not rob me, thievish Time,
OF all my BLESSINGS, all my joy;
have come jewels in my heart
Which thou art Powerless to destroy.
Thou may'st denude my arm Of strength.
And leave my temples seam'd and bare;
Deprive mine eyes Of passions light,
And scatter silver Ger my hair;
Bat never, while book remains,
And bresthes a woman or a child,
Shalt thou deprive me, whilst live,
OF feelings fresh and undefilsd
No, never, while the earth Is fair,
And reason keeps its dial bright,
Whste'er thy robberiss. on, Time,
Shall be bankrupt Of delight.
Whate'er thy victories on my frame,
Thou csnst not cheat me Of this truth
That though the limbs may faint and fail
The spirit can renew its youth.
SO, thievish Time, fear thee not
Thou'rt powerless on this heart Of mine;
Ny Jewels shall belong 10 me,
lis but the settings that art thine.
