Some Glory in Their Birth, Some in Their Skill – Sonnet No. 91 lyrics by Anthony Quayle
Some glory in their birth, some in their skill
Some in their wealth, some in their body’s force
Some in their garments, though newfangled ill
Some in their hawks and hounds, some in their horse;
And every humor hath his adjunct pleasure
Wherein it finds a joy above the rest
But these particulars are not my measure;
All these I better in one general best
Thy lovе is better than high birth to me
Richеr than wealth, prouder than garments’ cost
Of more delight than hawks or horses be;
And having thee, of all men’s pride I boast
Wretched in this alone, that thou mayst take
All this away, and me most wretched make
