That thou art blam'd shall not be thy defect,
For slanders marke was ever yet the faire, The ornament of beautie is suspect, A Crow that flies in heavens sweetest ayre. So thou be good, slander doth but approve, Their worth the greater being woo'd of time, For Canker vice the sweetest buds doth love, And thou present'st a pure unstayned prime. Thou hast past by the ambush of young dayes, Either not assaild, or victor being charg'd, Yet this thy praise cannot be so thy praise, To tye up envy, evermore inlarged, If some suspect of ill maske not thy show, Then thou alone kingdomes of hearts shouldst owe.
