GARCILASO DE VEGA.

Coyed de vuestra alegre primavera.





ENJOY the sweets of life's luxuriant May,
Ere envious Age is hastening on his way,
With snowy wreathes to crown the beauteous brow:
The rose will fade when storms assail the year,
And Time, who changeth not his swift career,
Constant in this, will change all else below!

E 4
