Sonnet 3 of William Shakespeare

Look in thy glass, and tell the face thou viewest A

Now is the time that face should form another; B

Whose fresh repair if now thou not renewest, A

Thou dost beguile the world, unbless some mother, B

For where is she so fair whose unear'd womb C

Disdains the tillage of thy husbandry? D

Or who is he so fond will be the tomb C

Of his self-love, to stop posterity? D

Thou art thy mother's glass, and she in thee D

Calls back the lovely April of her prime: E

So thou through windows of thine age shall see D

Despite of wrinkles this thy golden time. E

But if thou live, remembered not to be, D

Die single, and thine image dies with thee. D
