1Gaunt.
2But not a minute (King) that thou canst giue;
3Shorten my dayes thou canst with sudden sorow,
4And plucke nights from me, but not lend a morrow:
5Thou canst helpe time to furrow me with age,
6But stop no wrinkle in his pilgrimage:
7Thy word is currant with him, for my death,
8But dead, thy kingdome cannot buy my breath.
