Sonnet 6 lyrics

by

William Shakespeare


Then let not winter's ragged hand deface,
In thee thy summer, ere thou be distilled:
Make sweet some vial
; treasure thou some place
With beauty's treasure ere it be self-killed.
That use is not forbidden usury,
Which happies those that pay the willing loan
;
That's for thy self to breed another thee,
Or ten times happier, be it ten for one;
Ten times thy self were happier than thou art,
If ten of thine ten times refigured thee:
Then what could death do if thou shouldst depart,
Leaving thee living in posterity?

    Be not self-willed, for thou art much too fair
    To be death's conquest and make worms thine heir.
