Who is | it that / says most,| which^can | say
more,
, , , ,
,
Than this / rich praise,| that you | alone,| are
you,
, T T . T , ,
In whose | confine immur|ed is | the store
, , , , ,
Which should | examp|le where | your e|qual grew?
, , , , ,
Lean pen/ury | within | that pen | doth^dwell
, , , T T T
,
That to | his sub|ject lends | not some small |
glory;
, , , , ,
But he | that writes | of you,| if he | can tell
, , , ,
, o
That you | are you,| so dig|nifies | his sto|ry.

, ,
Let him | but cop|y what | in you | is writ,
, , , , ,
Not^mak|ing worse | what na|ture made | so* clear,
, , , ,
,
And such | a count|erpart | shall fame | his wit,
, , , ,
,
Making | his style | admir|ed eve|ry where.

You to | your beaut|eous bless|ings add | a
curse,

, ,
Being fond | on praise,| which makes | your
prais|es worse.
