By chance or nature's changing course untrimmed;
But thy eternal summer shall not fade,
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st;
Nor shall death brag thou wander’st in his shade,
When it eternal lines to time thou grow'st:
So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and thus gives life to thee.
