1. GATHER ye rosebuds while ye may, 

    Old time is still a-flying : 

    And this same flower that smiles to-day 

    To-morrow will be dying.

    The glorious lamp of heaven, the sun, 

    The higher he’s a-getting,

    The sooner will his race be run, 

    And nearer he’s to setting.

    That age is best which is the first, 

    When youth and blood are warmer ; 

    But being spent, the worse, and worst 

    Times still succeed the former.

    Then be not coy, but use your time, 

    And while ye may go marry : 

    For having lost but once your prime 

    You may for ever tarry.


     To The Virgins, To Make Much Of Time was the YOLO of 1648.
