Marquise

Marquise, if my face
has some rather aged features
remember that at my age
you won't have any better ones.
[first stanza is repeated]
 
Time likes to make
the most beautiful things look bad
and will know how to fade your roses
just as it has wrinkled my brow.
[second stanza is repeated]
 
The same course of the planets
rules our days and our nights :
I've been seen as you are,
and you will be as I am.1
[third stanza is repeated]
 
...
 
Maybe sometime I'll be old,
replied Marquise, however
I'm twenty six, my old Corneille,
so for now just go and get knotted.
[fourth stanza is repeated]
 
  • 1. i.e "I once looked young and you will look old"
