"attaint" poems
I grant thou wert not married to my Muse, And therefore mayst without attaint o’erlook The dedicated words which writers use Of their fair subject, blessing every book. Thou art as fair in knowledge as in hue, Finding thy worth a limit past my praise, And therefore art enforced to seek anew Some fresher stamp of the time-bettering days. And do so, love, yet when they have devised What strainèd touches rhetoric can lend, Thou, truly fair, wert truly sympathized In true plain words by thy true-telling friend; And their gross painting might be better used Where cheeks need blood; in thee it is abused.

Sonnet 082: I Grant Thou Wert Not Married To My Muse
Of all the poisons that run and grow Many I´ve studied and stored for my own But none of them vices works as strong As the words been spilled by your rivals tongue Oh, many a poison acts swift or slow Some crueler than others, either painfull or dull Yet none of them traceless, as the feelings below Caused by defilement of a broken vow True a poison works baneful Yet compared to attaint It is mellow and gracious Saving further complaint Oh I rather choose the poison Than the tainted, evil words Poured by trusted, out of treason For the poison barely hurts And I rather die in pain Than suffer by my pride And I rather die in vain Than stay by the devils side

Solitary Chapter II O Hallowed quieten! Adopt my flutter and absorb me Unveil my attaint and abide in me Establish a sanctuary, in my grime In the susurration of mine ministration .... cleanse this aloofness Make it my armour from foray And my soul to you will belong
