by Unknown

They say my youth is fled with strength,

And how old age is well begun;

The which I feel, and you may see

Such lines upon my head to be.

They be the strings of sober sound,

Whose music is harmonical;

Their tunes declare a time from ground

I came, and bow thereto I shall;

Wherefore I love, that you may see

Upon my head such hairs to be.
