Sonnet XIV
[Why how now Reason, how are you amazed?]
Why how now Reason, how are you amazed?
Is Worth in Beauty, shrin'd vp to be lothed?
Shall Natures riches by your selfe be razed?
In what but these can you be finely clothed?
Is Worth in Beauty, shrin'd vp to be lothed?
Shall Natures riches by your selfe be razed?
In what but these can you be finely clothed?
Though Myra's eyes, glasses of ioy, and smart,
Daintily shadowed, shew forth loue and feare,
Shall feare make reason from her right depart?
Shall lacke of hope the loue of worth forbeare?
Daintily shadowed, shew forth loue and feare,
Shall feare make reason from her right depart?
Shall lacke of hope the loue of worth forbeare?
Where is the homage then that Nature oweth?
Loue is a tribute to perfection due,
Reason in selfe-loues-liuerie bondage showeth,
And hath no freedome, Myra, but in you;
Then Worth, Loue, Reason, Beauty be content,
In Myra onely to be permanent.
Loue is a tribute to perfection due,
Reason in selfe-loues-liuerie bondage showeth,
And hath no freedome, Myra, but in you;
Then Worth, Loue, Reason, Beauty be content,
In Myra onely to be permanent.
