6. 6 of x MY Lady’s hair is threads of beaten gold; Her front the purest, crystal eye hath seen; Her eyes, the brightest stars the heavens hold; Her cheeks, red roses, such as seld have been; Her pretty lips, of red vermillion dye; Her hand, of ivory the purest white; Her blush, AURORA or the morning sky. Her breast displays two silver fountains bright; The spheres, her voice; her grace, the Graces three; Her body is the saint that I adore; Her smiles and favours, sweet as honey be. Her feet, fair THETIS praiseth evermore. But Ah, the worst and last is yet behind: For of a griffon she doth bear the mind! Version 3.0 Copyright © AQA and its licensors. All rights reserved. My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun; Coral is far more red than her lips' red. If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun; If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head. I have seen roses damasked, red and white, But no such roses see I in her cheeks; And in some perfumes is there more delight Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks. I love to hear her speak, yet well I know That music hath a far more pleasing sound. I grant I never saw a goddess go: My mistress when she walks treads on the ground. And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare As any she belied with false compare.
