1593-1603 by Shakespeare 
Sonnet 15 

1	When I consider every thing that grows
2	Holds in perfection but a little moment,
3	That this huge stage presenteth naught but shows
4	Whereon the stars in secret influence comment#
5	When I perceive that men as plants increase,
6	Cheerèd and checked even by the selfsame sky#
7	Vaunt in their youthful sap, at height decrease,
8	And wear their brave state out of memory:
9	Then the conceit of this inconstant stay
10	Sets you most rich in youth before my sight,
11	Where wasteful time debateth with decay
12	To change your day of youth to sullied night#
13	And all in war with time for love of you,
14	As he takes from you, I engraft you new.
