And arts with thy sweet graces graced be;
As high as learning, my rude ignorance.
LXXIX
Whilst I alone did call upon thy aid,
But now my gracious numbers are decay.html">decay'd,
I grant, sweet love.html">love, thy lovely argument
Yet what of thee thy poet doth invent
He lends thee virtue.html">virtue, and he stole that word
And found it in thy cheek: he can afford
Then thank him not for that which he doth say,
Knowing a better spirit doth use your name.html">name,
To make me tongue-tied speaking of your fame!
The humble as the proudest sail doth bear,
On your broad main doth wilfully appear.
Whilst he upon your soundless deep doth ride;
He of tall building, and of goodly pride:
The worst was this,--my love was my decay.
LXXXI
Or I shall live.html">live your epitaph to make,
From hence your memory death cannot take,
Your name from hence immortal life shall have,
The earth can yield me but a common grave,
Your monument shall be my gentle verse,
And tongues to be, your being shall rehearse,
You still shall live,--such virtue hath my pen,--
And therefore mayst without attaint o'erlook
Of their fair subject, blessing every book.
Finding thy worth a limit past my praise;
Some fresher stamp of the time-bettering days.
What strained touches rhetoric can lend,
In true.html">true plain words, by thy true-telling friend;
Where cheeks need blood; in thee it is abus'd.
LXXXIII
I never saw that you did painting need,
I found, or thought I found, you did exceed
And therefore have I slept in your report,
How far a modern quill doth come too short,
This silence for my sin you did impute,
