Devouring Time, blunt thou the lion's paws

And make the earth devour her own sweet brood

And make the earth devour her own sweet brood

Pluck the keen teeth from the fierce tiger's jaws

And burn the long-lived phoenix in her blood

And burn the long-lived phoenix in her blood

But I forbid thee one most heinous crime:O! carve not with thy hours my love's fair brow,Nor draw no lines there with thine antique pen;Him in thy course untainted do allowFor beauty's pattern to succeeding men. Yet, do thy worst old Time: despite thy wrong, My love shall in my verse ever live young.
