Time rifles Natures beauty, but slye Arte

Repaires by cunninge this decayinge parte.

55Fills here a wrinckle, and there purles a veyne,

And with a nimble hand runs o're againe

The breaches dented in by th'arme of time,

And makes Deformity to be no crime.

As when great men be grip't by sicknes hand,

60Industrious Physicke pregnantly doth stand

To patch up foule diseases, and doth strive

To keepe theire totteringe Carcasses alive.
