82 (Book 82)

I Grant thou wert not married to my Muse, And therefore maiest without attaint ore-looke The dedicated words which writers vse Of their faire subiect, blessing euery booke. Thou art as faire in knowledge as in hew, Finding thy worth a limmit past my praise, And therefore art inforc'd to seeke anew, Some fresher stampe of the time bettering dayes. And do so loue, yet when they haue deuisde, What strained touches Rhethorick can lend, Thou truly faire, wert truly simpathizde, In true plaine words, by thy true telling friend. And their grosse painting might be better vs'd, Where cheekes need blood, in thee it is abus'd.
