TO MY LADY WITH THE JAUNDICE.

Was not Titania golden? See these flowers

Are they for being yellowish less fair?

Apollo and the Godesses all share

In this most glorious hue. The jealous bowers

Of Kings are coloured thus, their reed of powers,

Their rings, their chains, the crowns that they must wear

Golden their mistress and their minion's hair

Golden the bannered sun above their towers!

Reflecting butter-cups amuses Puck

But flower-rubbed eye-lids, and complexions mend:

So fear not broken crystals long ill-luck

But look in this new mirror, lovely friend.

Both gods and fairies wait on lovers wills.

That jaundices be changed to daffodils!
