106 (Book 106)

WHen in the Chronicle of wasted time, I see discriptions of the fairest wights, And beautie making beautifull old rime, In praise of Ladies dead, and louely Knights, Then in the blazon of sweet beauties best, Of hand, of foote, of lip, of eye, of brow, I see their antique Pen would haue exprest, Euen such a beauty as you maister now. So all their praises are but prophesies Of this our time, all you prefiguring, And for they look'd but with deuining eyes, They had not still enough your worth to sing: For we which now behold these present dayes, Haue eyes to wonder, but lack toungs to praise.
