Days; Great Britain -- Social life and customs

In vain, my dearest girl, you choose
    (Your face to wash) Olympic dews;
      In vain you paint or rouge it;
    He’ll play such havoc with your youth,
    That ten years hence you’ll say with truth
      Ah Edward!--_Tempus fugit!_

    The glass he carries in his hand
    Has ruin in each grain of sand;
      But what I most deplore is,
    He breaks the links of friendship’s chain,
    And barters youthful love for gain:
      _Oh, Tempora! oh, Mores!_

    One sole exception you shall find,
    (_Unius generis_ of its kind,)
      Wherever fate may steer us;
    Tho’ wide his universal range,
    Time has no power the heart to change
      Of your AMICUS VERUS.
