Q 91

SOme glory in their birth, some in their skill,
Some in their wealth, some in their body's force,
Some in their garments though new-fangled ill:
Some in their Hawks and Hounds, some in their Horse.

And every humour hath his adjunct pleasure,
Wherein it finds a joy above the rest,
But these particulars are not my measure,
All these I better in one general best.

Thy love is better than high birth to me,
Richer than wealth, prouder than garments' cost,
Of more delight than Hawks or Horses be:
And having thee, of all men's pride I boast.

Wretched in this alone, that thou mayst take,
All this away, and me most wretched make.
