Grandpa Pencil's Works of the great poets William Shakespeare Venus and Adonis 88

'Fair queen,' quoth he, ' if any love you owe me,
Measure my strangeness with my unripe years:
Before I know myself, seek not to know me;
No fisher but the ungrown fry forbears:
The mellow plum doth fall, the green sticks fast,
Or being early pluck'd is sour to taste.
