# Béaury is but a vaine and doubtful! good, ## Overview This is a chapter extracted from the text file [pdf-01KG6Q7Q25RHMFT3SJXPV18VFF.txt](arke:01KG6S2X2EBB305ENM00G16GWA) and included in the poetry collection [Venus and Adonis, Lucrece, Sonnets, and Pericles (Facsimile Editions)](arke:01KG6S3KNZT62WVVW4VT384KPF). It is part of the [PDF Workflow Main Test 2026-01-30T00:26:53](arke:01KG6NWQ2H2K4PGG7H4ZHYCZ3Y) collection. The chapter is labeled "Béaury is but a vaine and doubtful! good," and spans from line 8293 to 8314 in the source file. ## Context The chapter is located between the preceding chapter, [Crabbed age and youth cannot lose together,](arke:01KG6S4FQEGE1MKZZYN43GFY35), and the subsequent chapter, [Good night, good rest, ah neither be my share,](arke:01KG6S4G99AGSB8R5FXV8YTH87), within the larger poetry collection. The collection comprises facsimile editions of works by William Shakespeare, including "Venus and Adonis," "Lucrece," "Sonnets," and "Pericles." ## Contents The chapter consists of a poem reflecting on the fleeting nature of beauty. It uses metaphors such as a "thriving gloffé" that fades quickly, a flower that dies as it buds, and a brittle glass that breaks easily to illustrate the impermanence of beauty. The poem suggests that once beauty diminishes, it is lost forever, despite attempts to preserve it through spices, paints, or other costly efforts. The text also includes references to page numbers (377 and 378) and an image, and concludes with the heading "NONPROVISION".

Béaury is but a vaine and doubtful! good, A thriving gloffé, that vadeth fodainly, A flower that dies, when first it gives to bud, A bristle glaffe, that's broken presently. A doubtful good, a gloffé, a glaffé, a flower, Loft, vaded, broken, dead within an hour. And as goods loft, are field or netter found, As vaded goffle, no rubbing will refresh: As flowers dead, he withered on the ground, As broken glaffé no fvman can redieffle. So beauty: demitht once, for ever loft, In spice or phuflike, painting, paine and coft.  <!-- [Page 377](arke:01KG6QFYJVJPWPDNDH04XF8SFZ) --> ^{}[] <!-- [Page 378](arke:01KG6QFYKSRYATS0TNXESFG2EW) --> # NONPROVISION
