- # SONNERS.
For thy neglect of truth in beauty di'd?
Both truth and beauty on my loue depends:
So doft thou too, and therein dignifi'd:
Make anfwere Muse, wilt thou not haply faie,
Truth needs no collour with his collour fixt,
Beautie no pensfell, beauties truth to lay:
But beft is beft, if neuer intermixt.
Because he needs no praise, wilt thou be dumb?
Excuse not silence so, for't lies in thee,
To make him much out-liue a gilded tombe:
And to be praisd of ages yet to be.
Then do thy office Muse, I teach thee how,
To make him feeme long hence, as he fhowes now.
102
MY loue is strengthned though more weake in fee-
I loue not lesse, though lesse the fhow appeare, (ming
That loue is marchandiz'd, whose ritch esteeming,
The owners tongue doth publish euery where.
Our loue was new, and then but in the spring,
When I was wont to greet it with my laies,
As Philamell in summers front doth singe,
And stop his pipe in growth of riper daies:
Not that the summer is lesse pleasant now
Then when her mournefull himns did hush the night,
But that wild musick burthens euery bow,
And sweet a growne common loose their deare delight.
Therefore like her, I some-time hold my tongue:
Because I would not dull you with my songe.
103
A Lack what poverty my Muse brings forth,
That hauing such a skope to fhow her pride,
The argument all bare is of more worth
Then when it hath my added praise beside.
Oh blame me not if I no more can writel
Looke in your glasse and there appears a face,
That ouer-goes my blunt invention quite,
Dulling my lines, and doing me disgrace.
