NOr morning red nor blushing faire, Be through your glasse or curtaine spide:But cloudy gray, like the short haire Of your old ever- lasting Bride. So old, So wondrous old, In the nonage of time, Ere Adam wore a beard she was in her prime. Whose swarthy dry Westphalia lips, Are sunke to mumy in her skin, Whose gums are empty, and her lips Like eye-lids hairy, and as thin: So old, So wondrous old, In the nonage of time, Ere Adam wore a beard she was in her prime.
For amorous sighs which Virgins use, She coughs aloud through lungs decaid, And with her palsie cannot chuse But quake like trembling of a maid:So old, So wondrous old, in the nonage of time Ere Adam wore a beard she was in her prime. If that her Bridegroome be ill sped, Hees not the first that hath been sad:For hees the last heire to her bed, Of seven before that she hath had. So old, So wondrous old, In the nonage of time Ere Adam wore a beard she was in her prime.
Why should her husband then vexe heaven, Or for a plenteous off-spring beg?Since all the issue can be given, Is that which runneth in her leg. So old, So wondrous old, in the nonage of time Ere Adam wore a beard she was in her prime. Of losing her there is no doubt. Nor need you aske where she doth dwell:For you may easily scent her out, As hounds do finde their game by th smel. So old, So wondrous old, in the nonage of time Ere Adam wore a beard she was in her prime.
<seg n="1" rend="left"><hi rend="italic">The second part, To the same tune.</hi></seg>
HEr nose and chin are now grown friends, & meet together lovingly:From danger these her mouth defends, So neere they joyne in unity. So old, So wondrous old, in the nonage of time Ere Adam wore a beard she was in her prime. Her painting serves her turne no more, Her face is like a ruind wall That hath so oft been plaisterd ore, With age at length it needs must fall. So old, So wondrous old, in the nonage of time Ere Adam-wore a beard she was in her prime. Her husband hath no cause to dread, (As many doe through jealousie)
That any will defile his bed, Theres none will use such charity, So old, So wondrous old, in the nonage of time Ere Adam wore a beard she was in her prime. What hath been spoken is not meant Any old woman to disgrace, But she who is to mariage bent, When deaths characters in her face. So old, So wondrous old, in the nonage of time Ere Adam word a beard she was in her prime.
