Sir Philip Sidney - Sonnet 82: Nymph Of The Garden

Nymph of the garden where all beauties be, br Beauties which do in excellency pass br His who till death look'd in a wat'ry glass, br Or hers, whom naked the Trojan boy did see; br br Sweet garden nymph, which keeps the cherry tree br Whose fruit doth far th'Hesperian taste surpass; br Most sweet-fair, most fair-sweet, do not alas, br From coming near those cherries banish me: br br For though full of desire, empty of wit, br Admitted late by your best-graced Grace, br I caught at one of them a hungry bit, br br Pardon that fault. Once more grant me the place br And I do swear e'en by the same delight, br I will but kiss, I never more will bite.
