Take with respect the giving of my loving <br />E`en if you prefer a different face it giving. <br />But practical and right in things this touching, <br />That face`s not always linked to love that`s moving. <br />And when I look at you have decency <br />To greet my heart though my ouside be plain. <br />Bring justice to your eyes; what`s right do see. <br />To flirt just fair your mind do not restrain. <br />What`s fair, not fair if not for ugly one. <br />Do thank those plain who give those fair a place. <br />Me serious take; have me with liking done <br />For fair is fairer looked thanks plain the face. <br />For were, lo, all with beauty come to earth, <br />Then pretty all, yes beauty has no worth.<br /><br />Luis Estable<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sonnet-377/
