Tresses, that wear
Jewels, but to declare
How much themselves more precious are.

A happy soul, that all the way
To heaven hath a summer's day.

Eyes, that displaces
The neighbor diamond, and out-faces
That sun-shine by their own sweet graces.

Days that need borrow
No part of their good morrow,
From a fore-spent night of sorrow.
