Some glo/ry in | their birth,| some in | their
skill,

Some in | their wealth,| some in | their bod|y's
force,

Some in | their gar|ments though / new-fang|led
ill;

Some in | their hawks | and hounds,| some in |
their horse,

And eve|ry hum|or hath | his ad|junct pleas|ure,

Wherein | it finds | a joy | above | the rest,

But these | partic|ulars | are not | my meas|ure,
, ,
, , ,
All* these | I bet|ter in / one gene|ral best.

Thy love | is bet|ter than / high birth | to me,
, ,
, , ,
Richer | than wealth,| prouder | than gar|ments' cost,
, ,
, , ,
Of more | delight | than hawks | and hors|es be;

And hav|ing thee,| of all men's pride | I
boast:

Wretched | in this | alone,| that thou | mayst
take

All this | away,| and me | most wretch|ed make.
