The theme, which was widely used in 16th- and 17th-century love poetry, is best exemplified by a familiar stanza from Robert Herrick's “To the Virgins, to Make Much of Time” : Gather ye rosebuds while ye may, Old time is still a-flying; And this same flower that smiles today Tomorrow will be dying. Shakespeare's version of the theme takes the following form in Twelfth Night : What is love? 'Tis not hereafter; Present mirth has present laughter; What's to come is still unsure. In delay there lies no plenty, Then come and kiss me sweet and twenty; Youth's a stuff will not endure. |
