"Beautie is not as fond men misdeeme, An outward show of things that only seeme. • • • • • • • • Vouchsafe, then, O Thou most Almightie Spright! From whom all gifts of wit and knowledge flow, To shed into my breast some sparkling light Of thine Eternall Truth, that I may show Some little beames to mortall eyes below Of that immortall Beautie, there with Thee, Which in my weake distraughted mynd I see." Spenser.
