BEAUTY'S VALUE
by Shakespeare, from a corrected manuscript.
  Beauty is but a vain and fleeting good,
  A shining gloss that fadeth suddenly;
  A flower that dies, when almost in the bud,
  A brittle glass, that breaketh presently:
  A fleeting good, a gloss, a glass, a flower,
  Lost, faded, broken, dead within the hour.
. . . [1 more verse]
