TEXT My dame, you be of all beauty the shrine, As far as is circled the mappa mundi, For just as the crystal glorious you shine And like ruby your cheeks be round. Therewith you be so merry and so jocund! And though I weep a tyne of tears, Yet may that woe my heart not wound… Suffice me to love you, Rosamund. Geoffrey Chaucer (translated by Forrest Hainline) Honey-tongued Shakespeare, when I saw thine issue, I swore Apollo got them and none other; Their rosy-tinted features clothed in tissue, Some heaven-born goddess said to be their mother. John Weever Ad Gulielmum Shakespeare My mistress’ eyes are nothing like the sun; Coral is far more red than her lips’ red. … I love to hear her speak, yet well I know That music hath a far more pleasing sound; I grant I never saw a goddess go; My mistress, when she walks she treads on the ground And yet by heaven, I think my love as rare As any she belied with false compare. William Shakespeare Sonnet 130
