Select which language to translate into:
|
| 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 prick’d thee out for women’s pleasure
|
| Mine be thy love and thy love’s use their treasure |
