Sonnet XXXI.

[Faire Iuorie browe, the bord Loue banquets on]

Faire Iuorie browe, the bord Loue banquets on,
sweete lyps of Corrall hue, but silken softnes,
Faire Sunnes that shine when Phœbus eyes are gon,
sweet breath that breaths incomparable sweetnes
Faire cheekes of purest Roses red and white,
sweet tongue, contayning sweeter thing thē sweet,
O that my Muse could mount a loftie flight,
and were not all so forcelesse and vnmeete,
To blaze the beautie of thy seuerall shine,
and tell the sweetnes of thy sondry tast,
Able of none but of the Muses nine,
to be arightly honored and grac'd:
The first so faire, so bright, so purely precious,
The last so sweete, so balmy, so delicious.
