A woman's
face with nature's own hand painted,
Hast thou
the master mistress of my passion,
A woman's
gentle heart but not acquainted
With
shifting change as is false women's fashion,
An eye
more bright than theirs, less false in rolling:
Gilding
the object whereupon it gazeth,
A man in
hue all hues in his controlling,
Which
steals men's eyes and women's souls amazeth.
And for a
woman wert thou first created,
Till
nature as she wrought thee fell a-doting,
And by
addition me of thee defeated,
By adding
one thing to my purpose nothing.
But since
she pricked thee out for women's pleasure,
Mine be
thy love and thy love's use their treasure.
