Sonnet 84

LET not one sparke of filthy lustfull fyre

Breake out, that may her sacred peace molest:

Ne one light glance of sensuall desyre

Attempt to work her gentle mindes unrest:

But pure affections bred in spotlesse brest,

And modest thoughts breathd from wel tempered sprites,

Goe visit her in her bowre of rest,

Accompanyde with angelick delightes.

There fill your selfe with those most joyous sights,

The which my selfe could never yet attayne:

But speake no word to her of these sad plights,

Which her too constant stiffness doth constrayn1.

Onely behold her rare perfection,

And blesse your fortunes fayre election
