Thy glass will show thee how thy beauties wear,
Thy dial how thy precious minutes waste;
The vacant leaves thy mind's imprint will bear,
And of this book this learning mayst thou taste.
The wrinkles which thy glass will truly show
Of mouthed graves will give thee memory;
Thou by thy dial's shady stealth mayst know
Time's thievish progress to eternity.
Look, what thy memory can not contain
Commit to these waste blanks, and thou shalt find
Those children nursed, deliver'd from thy brain,
To take a new acquaintance of thy mind.
These offices, so oft as thou wilt look,
Shall profit thee and much enrich thy book
Time thievishly progresses and as it does exterior aging in evident. Aside from the exterior, your mind throughout life aggregates more and more information. Your progression in life will allow you to look back to your memories. Look elsewhere from your emotions that your memories bring. Look at the empty, waste blanks and there you shall discover something different. Allow your mind to imprint these vacant areas and you shall learn something new beyond yourself that will profit and enrich your mind.
