  1. I straight compare her to the saffron morn.
  2. My love with no complexion disagrees,
  3. But all alike my ready passion please.
  4. The younger by their bloom my heart secure,
  5. The elder win it as they're more mature;
  6. And though the younger may excel in charms,
  7. The elder clasp you with experienc'd arms
  8. What all the city like, is liked by me,
  9. And I with them and all my loves agree.
