 * Love, the delight of all well-thinking minds ;
 * Delight, the fruit of virtue dearly lov'd ;
 * Virtue, the highest good, that Reason finds ;
 * Reason, the fire wherein men's thoughts be prov'd ;
 * Are from the world by Nature's power bereft,
 * And in one creature, for her glory, left.


 * Beauty, her cover is, the eyes' true pleasure ;
 * In Honour's fame she lives ; the ears' sweet music ;
 * Excess of wonder grows from her true measure ;
 * Her worth is Passion's wound, and Passion's physic ;
 * From her true heart, clear springs of wisdom flow,
 * Which imag'd in her words and deeds, men know.


 * Time fain would stay, that she might never leave her ;
 * Place doth rejoice, that she must needs contain her ;
 * Death craves of Heaven, that she may not bereave her ;
 * The heavens know their own, and do maintain her ;
 * Delight, Love, Reason, Virtue, let it be,
 * To set all women light, but only she.
