| <BLOCKQUOTE>When in the chronicle of wasted time<BR> | |
| I see descriptions of the fairest wights,<BR> | |
| And beauty making beautiful old rhyme<BR> | |
| In praise of ladies dead and lovely knights,<BR> | |
| Then, in the blazon of sweet beauty's best,<BR> | |
| Of hand, of foot, of lip, of eye, of brow,<BR> | |
| I see their antique pen would have express'd<BR> | |
| Even such a beauty as you master now.<BR> | |
| So all their praises are but prophecies<BR> | |
| Of this our time, all you prefiguring;<BR> | |
| And, for they look'd but with divining eyes,<BR> | |
| They had not skill enough your worth to sing:<BR> | |
| For we, which now behold these present days,<BR> | |
| Had eyes to wonder, but lack tongues to praise.<BR> | |
