      "In bloom of peach and rose's bud,",
      "There waves the streamer of her blood.",

      "To make of parts an union;",

      "At which I stopp'd; Said Love, these be",
      "The true resemblances of thee;",
      "For as these flowers, thy joys must die;",
      "And in the turning of an eye;",
      "And all thy hopes of her must wither,",
      "Like those short sweets here knit together."
