So am | I as | the rich,| whose^bles|sed key,

Can bring | him to | his sweet | up-lock|ed
treas|ure,

The which | he will | not eve|ry hour | survey,

For blunt|ing the / fine point | of sel|dom
pleas|ure.

Therefore | are feasts | so sol|emn and | so rare,

, , ,
Since^sel|dom com|ing in the // long year set,

Like stones of worth | they thin|ly plac|ed
are,
, , , , ,
Or cap|tain jew|els in | the car|canet.
, , , , ,
So^is | the time | that keeps | you as | my
chest,

T T . T ,
Or as | the war|drobe which the robe | doth^hide,
, , , ,
,
To make | some spec|ial inst|ant
spec|ial-blessed,
, , , ,
,
By new | unfold|ing his | impris|oned pride.

Blessed are | you whose worth|iness
gives scope,

Being | had to | triumph,| being lacked | to
hope.
