Created all that arrogant display,
Whose dusty ruin now greets our visit:
Speak, spirits (since that shadowy limit
Of Stygian shore that ensures your stay,
Enclosing you in thrice

Sight of your dark images, may permit),
Tell me, now (since it may be one of you,

You contemplate the work of your hands,

Many a widow's husband grovelling lies,
Coldly

Upon the dancing banners of the French,

Those hours, that with gentle work did frame
The lovely gaze where every eye doth dwell,
Will play the tyrants to the very same
And that unfair which fairly doth excel;
For never-resting time leads summer on
To hideous winter, and confounds him there;
Sap checked with frost, and lusty leaves quite gone,
Beauty o'er-snowed and bareness every where:
Then were not summer's distillation left,
A liquid prisoner pent in walls of glass,
Beauty's effect with beauty were bereft,
Nor it, nor no
remembrance
what it was:
But flowers distill'd, though they with winter meet,
Leese but their show; their substance still lives sweet.
