Non Est Mortale Quod Opto

Thou think'st I flatter, when thy praise I tell.
But thou dost all hyperboles excel ;
For I am sure thou art no mortal creature.
But a divine one, thron'd in human feature.
Thy piety is such, that heaven by merit,
If ever any did, thou shouldst inherit :
Thy modesty is such, that, hadst thou been
Tempted as Eve, thou wouldst have shunn'd her sin :
So lovely fair thou art, that sure Dame Nature
Meant thee the pattern of the female creature :
Besides all this, thy flowing wit is such.
That were it not in thee, 't had been too much
For woman-kind : should envy look thee o'er.
It would confess thus much, if not much more.
I love thee well, yet wish some bad in thee ;
For sure I am thou art too good for me.
