So well I love thee, as without thee I Love nothing; if I might choose, I'd rather die Than be one day debarr'd thy company. |
|
Since beasts, and plants do grow, and live and move, Beasts are those men, that such a life approve: He only lives, that deadly is in love. |
|
The corn that in the ground is sown first dies And of one seed do many ears arise: Love, this world's corn, by dying multiplies. |
|
The seeds of love first by thy eyes were thrown Into a ground untill'd, a heart unknown To bear such fruit, till by thy hands 'twas sown. |
|
Look as your looking-glass by chance may fall, Divide and break in many pieces small And yet shows forth the selfsame face in all: |
|
Proportions, features, graces just the same, And in the smallest piece as well the name Of fairest one deserves, as in the richest frame. |
|
So all my thoughts are pieces but of you Which put together makes a glass so true As I therein no other's face but yours can view. |
