Страница 283 - Like rich men that take pleasure In hiding, more than handling, treasure. By absence this good means I gain, That I can catch her Where none can watch her, In some close corner of my brain; There I embrace and kiss her, And so I both enjoy and miss her.
Страница 287 - My Love in her attire doth show her wit, It doth so well become her : For every season she hath dressings fit, For Winter, Spring, and Summer. No beauty she doth miss When all her robes are on : But Beauty's self she is When all her robes are gone.

Страница 272 - At whose command the waves obey ; To whom the rivers tribute pay, Down the high mountains sliding ; To whom the scaly nation yields Homage for the crystal fields Wherein they dwell ; And every sea-god pays a gem Yearly out of his watery cell, To deck great Neptune's diadem.
Страница 286 - Wheresoe'er you were, with you my love should go. Were you the earth, dear love, and I the skies, My love should shine on you like to the sun, And look upon you with ten thousand eyes, Till heaven waxed blind, and till the world were done.
Страница 332 - Shades did on each side enfold me, Dreadless, having thee for guide, Should I bide, For thy rod and staff uphold me. Thou my board with messes large Dost surcharge ; My bowls full of wine thou pourest, And before mine enemies' Envious eyes, Balm upon my head thou showerest. Neither dures thy bounteous grace For a space, But it knows nor bound nor measure ; So my days, to my life's end, Shall I spend In thy courts with heavenly pleasure.
