Robert Southwell: Time wears all his locks before, Take thou hold upon his forehead; When he flies he turns no more, And behind his scalp

Time wears all his locks before, Take thou hold upon his forehead; When he flies he turns no more, And behind his scalp is naked. Works adjourn'd have many stays, Long demurs breed new delays.
