Of hand, of foot, of lip, of eye, of brow,
I see their antique pen would have expressed
Even such a beauty as you master now.
So all their praises are but prophecies

Of this our time, all you prefiguring;
And for they looked but with divining eyes,
They had not skill enough your worth to sing :

Have eyes to wonder, but lack tongue to praise,
