The Sonnets XXV - Let those who are in favour with their stars
Let those who are in favour with their stars Of public honour and proud titles boast, Whilst I, whom fortune of such triumph bars Unlookd for joy in that I honour most. Great princes favourites their fair leaves spread But as the marigold at the suns eye, And in themselves their pride lies buried, For at a frown they in their glory die. The painful warrior famoused for fight, After a thousand victories once foild, Is from the book of honour razed quite, And all the rest forgot for which he toild: Then happy I, that love and am belovd, Where I may not remove nor be removd.
