[Thy love is to my heart a boundless store]
Thy love is to my heart a boundless storeOf soft affection, which to love is near,
And those, that I have never priz'd before,
For thy dear sake are now to me most dear;
Thy kindred, and thy friends, whose matchless worth,
As lost in darkness, were to me unknown,
By pure example light my path on Earth,
And by their virtues my defects are shown:
Then may I so improve the boundless grace,
Which from the marble air to me is sent,
That in my soul pure honour may have place,
And virtue her neglected stores augment:
For perfect in thyself thou art I see,
But yet more perfect in thy company.
