From
fairest creatures we desire increase,
That
thereby beauty's rose might never die,
But
as the riper should by time decease,
His
tender heir might bear his memory:
But
thou contracted to thine own bright eyes,
Feed'st
thy light's flame with self-substantial fuel,
Making
a famine where abundance lies,
Thy
self thy foe, to thy sweet self too cruel:
Thou
that art now the world's fresh ornament,
And
only herald to the gaudy spring,
Within
thine own bud buriest thy content,
And
tender churl mak'st waste in niggarding:
Pity the world, or else this glutton be,
To eat the world's due, by the grave and
thee.
