[1]      Those parts of thee that the world's eye doth view
[2]      Want nothing that the thought of hearts can mend;
[3]      All tongues, the voice of souls, give thee that due,
[4]      Uttering bare truth, even so as foes commend.
[5]      Thy outward thus with outward praise is crown'd;
[6]      But those same tongues that give thee so thine own
[7]      In other accents do this praise confound
[8]      By seeing farther than the eye hath shown.
[9]      They look into the beauty of thy mind,
[10]     And that, in guess, they measure by thy deeds;
[11]     Then, churls, their thoughts, although their eyes were kind,
[12]     To thy fair flower add the rank smell of weeds:
[13]       But why thy odour matcheth not thy show,
[14]       The solve is this, that thou dost common grow.
