Classic Poem

With gold and rubies glistereth her small hand:
But if you match them with her lips or haire,
They seeme withouten brightnes for to stand,
The other have such lively colours faire.
O worthie Beautie, peerlesse A PERSE,
To whom all other Beauties are most vile.
O fairnes such, as fairer none can bee,
Thou Grace it selfe of graciousnes doost spoyle.
With Rubies, thou right Rubies doost disgrace,
With Gold bright Gold thou stainest in his place.
