    The speaker understands how the beloved views his age.

    Explanation:

    Old age implies that the end of life is near; however, the lovers are expected to love each other more "which makes thy love more strong." In other words, their love should grow even stronger even if they know that their parting may be near "which thou must leave ere long."
