Sonnet 71: Who List to Praise versuri

Versuri Michael Drayton – Sonnet 71: Who List to Praise lyrics

Who list to praise the day’s delicious light,
Let him compare it to her heavenly eye,
The sunbeams to the lustre of her sight ;
So may the learned like the simile,

The morning’s crimson to her lips’ alike,
The sweet of Eden to her breath’s perfume,
The fair Elysium to her fairer cheek,
Unto her veins the only Phoenix’ plume,

The angels’ tresses to her tressèd hair,
The Galaxeia to her more than white ;
Praising the fairest compare it to my fair,
Still naming her in naming all delight.

So may he grace all these in her alone,
Superlative in all comparison.
