MADRIGAL, by                    
First Line: "thou art but young, thou say'st"
Last Line: O me! That I were young again! And so repent thee
Subject(s): Youth


THOU art but young, thou say'st,
And love's delight thou weigh'st not;
O, take time while thou may'st,
Lest when thou would'st thou may'st not.

If love shall then assail thee,
A double anguish shall torment thee;
And thou wilt wish (but wishes all will fail thee,)
"O me! that I were young again!" and so repent thee.
