How soon hath Time, the subtle thief of youth, Stolen on his wing my three and twentieth year!

My hasting days fly on with full career,

But my late spring no bud or blossom showeth.

Perhaps my semblance might deceive the truth,

That I to manhood am arrived so near,

And inward ripeness doth much less appear,

That some more timely-happy spirits endueth.

Which occasion or circumstance leads the speaker to the thoughts in Sonnet VII by John Milton?

a birthday

a fight

a spring day

a new career
