Sonnet 45

LEAVE, lady, in your glasse of christall clene,

Your goodly selfe for evermore to vew:

And in my selfe, my inward selfe I meane,

Most lively lyke behold your semblant trew1.

Within my hart, though hardly it can shew,

Thing so divine to vew2 of earthly eie:

The fayre idea3 of your celestiall hew4,

And every part remaines immortally:

And were it not that, through your cruelty,

With sorrow dimméd and deformd it were,

The goodly ymage of your visnomy5,

Clearer then christall would therein appere.

But if your selfe in me ye playne will see,

move the cause by which your fayre beames darkned be.
