Sparkling in beauty and destruction too,

Both at a twinkling, I do liken straight

Her beautified body to a goodly temple

That’s built on vaults where carcasses lie rotting;

And so by little and little I shrink back again,

And quench desire with a cool meditation;

And I’m as well, methinks. Now for a welcome

Able to draw men’s envies upon man:

A kiss now that will hang upon my lip,

As sweet as morning dew upon a rose,
