When I have | seen by | Time's fell hand |
defaced

The rich proud cost | of outworn bur|ied age

When some|time lof|ty towers | I see down-razed
, , , , ,
And brass | etern|al slave | to mort|al rage
, , , , ,
When I | have seen | the hun|gry o|cean gain
, , , , ,
Advant|age on | the king|dom of | the shore,

And the / firm soil | win of | the wat|ery main,
, , , ,
,
Increas|ing store | with loss,| and loss | with
store;
, , , , ,
When^I | have seen | such^int|erchange | of
state,
, , ,
, ,
Or state | itself | confound|ed to | decay;
, , , ,
,
Ruin | hath taught | me thus | to rum|inate
, , ,
, ,
That Time | will come | and take | my love |
away.

This^thought | is as | a death | which^can|not
choose
, , ,
,
,
But weep | to have | that which^|it fears | to
lose.
