Ralph Waldo Emerson, comp. (1803–1882). Parnassus: An Anthology of Poetry. 1880.

Sir Philip Sidney

Matthew Roydon (fl. 1580–1622)

A SWEET, attractive kind of grace,

A full assurance given by looks,

Continual comfort in a face,

The lineaments of Gospel books!

I trow, that countenance cannot lie

Whose thoughts are legible in the eye.

Was ever eye did see that face,

Was ever ear did hear that tongue,

Was ever mind did mind his grace

That ever thought the travel long?

But eyes and ears, and every thought,

Were with his sweet perfections caught.
