1 So are you to my thoughts as food to life, 2 Or as sweet-season'd showers are to the ground; 3 And for the peace of you I hold such strife 4 As 'twixt a miser and his wealth is found; 5 Now proud as an enjoyer and anon 6 Doubting the filching age will steal his treasure, 7 Now counting best to be with you alone, 8 Then better'd that the world may see my pleasure; 9 Sometime all full with feasting on your sight 10 And by and by clean starved for a look; 11 Possessing or pursuing no delight, 12 Save what is had or must from you be took. 13 Thus do I pine and surfeit day by day, 14 Or gluttoning on all, or all away. |
