All kings and all their favourites
All glory of honours beauty and wits
The sun itself which makes time as they pass
Is elder by a year now than it was
When thou and I first one another saw
All other things to their destruction draw
Only our love hath no decay
This no tomorrow hath, no yesterday
Running it never ran from us away
But truly keeps his first, last, everlasting day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And then we shall be throughly blest ;
But now no more than all the rest.
Here upon earth we’re kings, and none but we
Can be such kings, nor of such subjects be.
Who is so safe as we? where none can do
Treason to us, except one of us two.
True and false fears let us refrain,
Let us love nobly, and live, and add again
Years and years unto years, till we attain
To write threescore; this is the second of our reign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
