Sonnet 66 To the Lady L.S.
Bright starre of Beauty, on whose eyelids sit, A thousand Nimph-like and enamoured Graces, The Goddesses of memory and wit, Which in due order take their seuerall places, In whose deare bosome, sweet delicious loue, Layes downe his quiuer, that he once did beare, Since he that blessed Paradice did proue, Forsooke his mothers lap to sport him there. Let others striue to entertaine with words, My soule is of another temper made; I hold it vile that vulgar wit affords, Deuouring time my faith, shall not inuade: Still let my praise be honoured thus by you, Be you most worthy, whilst I be most true.
