“Gather ye rosebuds while ye may,<\/p>\n
Old Time is still a-flying;<\/p>\n
And this same flower that smiles to-day<\/p>\n
To- morrow will be dying.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The glorious lamp of heaven, the sun,<\/p>\n
the higher he’s a-getting,<\/p>\n
The sooner will his race be run,<\/p>\n
And nearer he’s to setting.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
That age is best which is the first,<\/p>\n
When youth and blood are warmer;<\/p>\n
But being spent, the worse, and worst<\/p>\n
Times still succeed the former.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Then be not coy, but use your time,<\/p>\n
And while ye may, go marry:<\/p>\n
For having lost but once your prime,<\/p>\n
You may for ever tarry.”\u00a0 Robert Herrick.<\/p>\n
