[An Angel since you are, an Angel's praise]
An Angel since you are, an Angel's praiseThe true historian must to you return,
Or shame it were to these excelling days,
That aftertimes should not our virtue learn:
And yet to find a Poet, who may speak
The fair delight, and glory of your form,
Or carve the modest marble of your cheek,
And not the beauty of your looks deform,
May be as hard, as in this lunar World
To light upon a mind, proportion'd true,
Whereas we all are in confusion hurl'd,
And nothing is divine, save only you:
And yet I think your beauty may inspire
For this great work the glory and the fire!
