Talking beside the fire the while you spin your WOOL
Singing my verse you'll say, something wonderful,
Thus Ronsard, long ago. for love Of me did write.
Then not serving maid grown drOwsy with the
night
rule,
But startled at my viii quit her spinning STOOL
To bless your name with praise the years shall
never blight
shall be in my grave. 4 disembOdied ghost
Resting where myrtles bloom along the shadoHy
coast;
You crouching Ger the hearth viii be aged crone
Regretting all the love you proudly put away.
Wait for no morrow All believe me, snatch to-day
The roses Of your life, that shall soon be gone.
