050.F04.0HE  D.%5r%6 Donne|  The Elogy of an Autumnall Face.|
050.F04.001  No Spring, nor Sum%Mer Beauty hath such Grace,
050.F04.002  As I have seene in an Autumnall Face%Y,%Z->>.<
050.F04.003  Young Beauties force a Love, and that's a Rape;
050.F04.004  This doth but Councell, yett thou canst not scape.
050.F04.005  If 'twere a Shame to Love, Here 'twere no shame
050.F04.006  Affection here takes Reverences Name.
050.F04.007  Were her first yeares y%5e%6 Golden Age? 'Tis true,
050.F04.008  But now shee's Gold oft tried, %Yyett%Z->>and< ever new.
050.F04.009  That was her Torrid, and inflaming %Yt%Z->>T<ime;
050.F04.010  This is her Tolerable Topique clime.
050.F04.011  Faire Eies: Who asks more heate then comes from hence
050.F04.012  Hee is in a Feaver, wisheth a Pestilence.
050.F04.013  Call not those Wrinkles Graves, >%Yor#else%Z< hee is no where
050.F04.014  They were Loves Graves, or else Hee is no where.
050.F04.015  Yett lies not Love Dead here, but Hee doth sitt
050.F04.016  Vow'd to his Trench like a chast Anchorett.
050.F04.050  And here till Hers (w%5ch%6 must bee his Death) come>%Ys%Z,<
050.F04.018  Hee doth not digg a Grave, but build a Toombe.
050.F04.019  Heere dwells hee though hee sojourne every where
050.F04.020  In Progresse, yett his standing house is heere;
050.F04.021  Heere where still Euening is, not Noone, nor Night;
050.F04.022  Where no Voluptuousnes; yett all delight.
050.F04.023  In all Her words unto her hearers fitt;
050.F04.024  You may att Revells, or att Councell>%Ys%Z< sitt.
050.F04.025  This is Loves Timber, youth is Underwood;
050.F04.026  There Hee (as Wine in Iune) inrageth blood;
050.F04.027  W%5ch%6 then comes seasonablest, when o%5r%6 tast
050.F04.028  And appetite to other things is past.
050.F04.029  %3Xerxes%4 strange Lydian Love, y%5e%6 Plantane Tree
050.F04.030  Was Lov'd for Age, none being so large as Shee:
050.F04.031  Or else because being young, Nature did blesse
050.F04.032  Her Youth >%Y(%Z<with (Ages glory,) barrennes.
050.F04.033  If wee Love things long sought, Age is a thing
050.F04.034  W%5ch%6 wee are Fifty yeares in compassing;
050.F04.035  If transitory things w%5ch%6 soone decay,
050.F04.036  Age must bee Loveliest att y%5e%6 latest day.
050.F04.037  But Name not Winter Faces, whose skinne's slack,
050.F04.038  Lank as an Unthrifts Purse, but a Soules sack;
050.F04.039  whose Eies seeke Light-within, for all here's shade,
050.F04.040  Whose Mouths are holes rather worne out then made:
050.F04.041  Whose every Tooth to a Severall place is gone,
050.F04.042  To vexe their Soules, att Resurrection.
050.F04.043  Name not these Living Death's-heads unto Mee,
050.F04.044  For these not Auncients, but Antiques bee.
050.F04.045  I hate extreames; Yett I had rather stay
050.F04.046  With Toombes then Cradles>%Y,%Z< to Weare out a Day;
050.F04.047  Since such Loves Naturall Lation is, may still [f.56v]
050.F04.048  My Love descend, and journy downe Hill,
050.F04.049  Not panting after growing Beauties: So
050.F04.050  I shall ebbe on with them w%5ch%6 homeward goe.|
