The Sonnets CI - O truant Muse what shall be thy amends
O truant Muse what shall be thy amends For thy neglect of truth in beauty dyd? Both truth and beauty on my love depends; So dost thou too, and therein dignified. Make answer Muse: wilt thou not haply say, Truth needs no colour, with his colour fixd; Beauty no pencil, beautys truth to lay; But best is best, if never intermixd? Because he needs no praise, wilt thou be dumb? Excuse not silence so, fort lies in thee To make him much outlive a gilded tomb And to be praisd of ages yet to be. Then do thy office, Muse; I teach thee how To make him seem long hence as he shows now.
