(Sonnet 97.)
Here, as in the dramas,[[2]] contrasts in Nature are often used to point contrasts in life:
How sweet and lovely dost thou make the shame
Which like a canker in the fragrant rose
Doth spot the beauty of thy budding name!
O in what sweets dost thou thy sins enclose!
(Sonnet 95.)
and
No more be grieved at that which thou hast done;
Roses have thorns and silver fountains mud;
