from The Lie

Tell zeal it wants devotion;
        Tell love it is but lust;
Tell time it metes but motion;
        Tell flesh it is but dust:
                And wish them not reply,
                For thou must give the lie.

Tell age it daily wasteth;
        Tell honour how it alters;
Tell beauty how she blasteth;
        Tell favour how it falters:
                And as they shall reply,
                Give every one the lie.

– Sir Walter Raleigh (1552-1618)
