Faster than gnats in cobwebs; but her eyes,—

How could he see to do them? having made one,

Methinks it should have power to steal both his

And leave itself unfurnish’d. Yet look, how far

The substance of my praise doth wrong this shadow

In underprizing it, so far this shadow

Doth limp behind the substance.
