I know thy forms are studied arts,

Thy subtil ways be narrow straits; 10

Thy courtesy but sudden starts,

And what thou call’st thy gifts, are baits.

I know too, though thou strut and paint,

Yet art thou both shrunk up and old;

That only fools make thee a saint, 15

And all thy good is to be sold.

I know thou whole art but a shop

Of toys and trifles, traps and snares,
