Sonnet CII

Mine own senses hath ne’er drunk such beauty;

For thine face in morning slumber doth stun

And in that bliss ‘tis mine only duty

That thou art my love, mine own companion.

Thine repose is that of a goddess dear,

With eyes gently shut and body at rest,

Free from the devout duties and the fear,

And time will show, thou art the perfect best.

O ‘tis the sweet innocence bearing up,

That crowds sing of the favorite they see,

To touch and caress such doll of a pup,

Or extol with honeyed names unto thee.

For to see thee fair and care so freely,

With you at my side tis love ideally.
