Brittle Beauty
Brittle beauty that nature made so frail,
Whereof the gift is small, and short the season,
Flowering today, tomorrow apt to fail,
Tickle
treasure, abhorred of reason, [fragile]Dangerous to deal with, vain, of none avail,Costly in keeping, passed not worth two peason
, [peas]
Slipper
in sliding as is an eel's tail, [slippery]Jewel of jeopardy that peril doth assail,False and untrue, enticed oft to treason,Enemy to youth: that most may I bewail.Ah, bitter sweet: infecting as the poison, Thou farest as fruit that with the frost is taken: Today ready ripe, tomorrow all to-shaken
. [broken]
