Sonnet 57

You best discern'd of my interior eies,

And yet your graces outwardly diuine,

Whose deare remembrance in my bosome lies,

Too riche a relique for so poore a shrine:

You in whome Nature chose herselfe to view,

When she her owne perfection would admire,

Bestowing all her excellence on you;

At whose pure eies Loue lights his halowed fire,

Euen as a man that in some traunce hath scene,

More than his wondring vttrance can vnfolde,

That rapt in spirite in better worlds hath beene,

So must your praise distractedly be tolde;

Most of all short, when I should shew you most,

In your perfections altogether lost.
