But braver spirits do all things gallantly

Of lesser failings nought at all affred:

So Natures carelesse pencill dipt in light

With sprinkled starres hath spattered the Night.

And if my notions clear though rudely thrown

And loosely scattered in my poesie,

May lend men light till the dead Night be gone,

And Morning fresh with roses strew the skie:

It is enough, I meant no trimmer frame

Or by nice needle-work to seek a name.
