Excerpt
From fairest creatures we desire increase, That thereby beauty?s rose might never die, But as the riper should by time decease, His tender heir might bear his memory: But thou contracted to thine own bright eyes, Feed?st thy light?s flame with self-substantial fuel, Making a famine where abundance lies, Thy self thy foe, to thy sweet self too cruel: Thou that art now the world?s fresh ornament, and only herald to the gaudy spring, Within thine own bud buriest thy content, and tender churl mak?st waste in niggarding: Pity the world, or else this glutton be, To eat the world?s due, by the grave and thee.
