UNWORTHY TO HAVE LOOKED UPON HER HE IS STILL MORE SO TO ATTEMPT HER PRAISESB

I thought me apt and firm of wing to riseC
Not of myself but him who trains us allD
In song to numbers fitting the fair thrallD
Which Love once fasten'd and which Death untiesC
Slow now and frail the task too sorely triesC
As a great weight upon a sucker smallD
Who leaps I said too high may midway fallD
Man ill accomplishes what Heaven deniesC
So far the wing of genius ne'er could flyE
Poor style like mine and faltering tongue much lessC
As Nature rose in that rare fabric highE
Love follow'd Nature with such full successC
In gracing her no claim could I advanceC
Even to look and yet was bless'd by chanceC
