1 Sin of self-love possesseth all mine eye 2 And all my soul and all my every part; 3 And for this sin there is no remedy, 4 It is so grounded inward in my heart. 5 Methinks no face so gracious is as mine, 6 No shape so true, no truth of such account; 7 And for myself mine own worth do define, 8 As I all other in all worths surmount. 9 But when my glass shows me myself indeed, 10 Beated and chopp'd with tann'd antiquity, 11 Mine own self-love quite contrary I read; 12 Self so self-loving were iniquity. 13 'Tis thee, myself, that for myself I praise, 14 Painting my age with beauty of thy days. |
