    Sonnet 65 (Shakespeare) 1 Since brass‚ nor stone‚ nor boundless sea‚ 2 But sad mortality o ’er-sways their power‚ 3 How with this rage shall beauty hold a plea‚ 4 Whose action is no stronger than a flower? 5 O how shall summer ’s honey breath hold out‚ 6 Against the wreckful siege of batt ’ring days 7 When rocks impregnable are not so stout‚ 8 Nor gates of steel so strong‚ but time decays? 9 O fearful meditation!
