Sonet 7.
If Michaell the archpainter now did liue
Because that Michaell he an Angell hight
As partiall for his fellow Angells might
To Raphaells skill much prayse and honoure giue.
But if in secreat I his iudgment shriue
It would confesse that no man knew aright
To giue to stones and pearles true die and light
Till first youre art with orient nature striue.
But thinke not yet yow did that arte devise
Nay thanke my Ladie that such skill yow haue
For often sprinckling her black sparckling eyes
Her lips and breast taught yow the
To diamonds rubies pearles the worth of which
Doth make the iewell which yow paynt seeme rich.
