My spotless love hovers with white wings <br />About the temple of the proudest frame, <br />Where blaze those lights fairest of earthly things <br />Which clear our clouded world with brightest flame. <br />M'ambitious thoughts confined in her face <br />Affect no honor, but what she can give me; <br />My hopes do rest in limits of her grace; <br />I weigh no comfort unless she relieve me. <br />For she that can my heart imparadize <br />Holds in her fairest hand what dearest is: <br />My Fortune's wheel, the circle of her eyes, <br />Whose rolling grace deign once a turn of bliss. <br />All my life's sweet consists in her alone, <br />So much I love the most unloving one.<br /><br />Samuel Daniel<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sonnet-xii-my-spotless-love/
