And many maiden gardens yet unset,
With virtuous wish would bear you living flowers,

Neither in inward worth nor outward fair
Can make you live your self in eyes of men.

Sees Helen's beauty in a brow of Egypt:
The poet's eye, in a fine frenzy rolling,

Young son, it argues a distemper'd head So soon to bid good morrow to thy bed: Care keeps his watch in every old man's eye, And where care lodges, sleep will never lie; But where unbruised youth with unstuff'd brain Doth couch his limbs, there golden sleep doth reign:

Shall not be winked at, how shall we stretch our eye

Coral is far more red than her lips' red:
If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun;
