The Crown Sonnets

He may our profit and our tutor prove

In whom alone we do this power find,

To join two hearts as in one frame to move;

Two bodies, but one soul to rule the mind;

 

Eyes with much care to one dear object bind,

Ears to each other's speech as if above

All else they sweet and learned were; this kind

Content of lovers witnesseth true love,

 

It doth enrich the wits, and makes you see

That in yourself which you knew not before,

Forcing you to admire such gifts should be

Hid from your knowledge, yet in you the store;

 

Millions of these adorn the Throne of Love

How blest be they then, who his favours prove.
