1 Some glory in their birth, some in their skill, 2 Some in their wealth, some in their bodies' force, 3 Some in their garments, though new-fangled ill, 4 Some in their hawks and hounds, some in their horse; 5 And every humour hath his adjunct pleasure, 6 Wherein it finds a joy above the rest: 7 But these particulars are not my measure; 8 All these I better in one general best. 9 Thy love is better than high birth to me, 10 Richer than wealth, prouder than garments' cost, 11 Of more delight than hawks or horses be; 12 And having thee, of all men's pride I boast: 13 Wretched in this alone, that thou mayst take 14 All this away and me most wretched make. |
