LOVE ABOVE BEAUTY, by                    
First Line: Lovely chloris, though thine eyes
Last Line: To my fidelity.
Subject(s): Admiration; Fidelity; Love; Faithfulness; Constancy


LOVELY Chloris, though thine eyes
Far outshine the jewels of the skies;
That grace which all admire in thee,
No, nor the beauties of thy breast,
Which far out-blaze the rest,
Might e'er compared be
To my fidelity.

Those alluring smiles that place
An eternal April on thy face;
Such as no sun did ever see,
No, nor the treasures of thy breast,
Which far out-blaze the rest,
Might e'er compared be
To my fidelity.
