1Full many a glorious morning have I seen
2Flatter the mountain-tops with sovereign eye,
3Kissing with golden face the meadows green,
4Gilding pale streams with heavenly alchemy;
6With ugly rack on his celestial face
9Even so my sun one early morn did shine
10With all-triumphant splendour on my brow;
11But out, alack! he was but one hour mine;
13Yet him for this my love no whit disdaineth;
