Sonnet eleven with the net of exquisite metaphors J

XI
As fast as
thou shalt wane, so fast thou grow'st,
In one of
thine, from that which thou departest;
And that fresh
blood which youngly thou bestow'st,
Thou mayst
call thine when thou from youth convertest,
Herein lives
wisdom, beauty, and increase;
Without this
folly, age, and cold decay:
If all were
minded so, the times should cease
And threescore
year would make the world away.
Let those whom
nature hath not made for store,
Harsh,
featureless, and rude, barrenly perish:
Look, whom she
best endow'd, she gave thee more;
Which
bounteous gift thou shouldst in bounty cherish:
She carv'd
thee for her seal, and meant thereby,
Thou
shouldst print more, not let that copy die.
