Episode Synopsis

To me, fair friend, you never can be old, For as you were when first your eye I ey'd, Such seems your beauty still. Three winters cold Have from the forests shook three summers' pride, Three beauteous springs to yellow autumn turn'd In process of the seasons have I seen, Three April perfumes in three hot Junes burn'd, Since first I saw you fresh, which yet are green. Ah, yet doth beauty, like a dial hand, Steal from his figure, and no pace perceiv'd, So your sweet hue, which methinks still doth stand, Hath motion, and mine eye may be deceiv'd;     For fear of which, hear this, thou age unbred:     Ere you were born was beauty's summer dead.
