When I compare my frame to other men: I weep, and mirror's glass weeps for me too, By height it seems their taller shrinks me when- With force that they deny me greater view. My dome's as barest 'neath their hairs of lush; Of thickly grass by substanced strength unknown How happy must they smile in each a brush And pleasure's reep by winds that have them blown. They boast by skin and shape, by right they're art, Which have me think of art that I am fond: A lover which attends my mirror's heart As she's since loved with love's devoutly bond:
As I recall the loveliness she sends I frown to trade for all their beauty lends!
