an almost accidental gathering of poets
 
   
 
 
Sir Edmund Spenser
 
Amoretti XV
Ye tradeful merchants that with weary toil
Do seek most precious things to make your gain,
And both the Indias of their treasures spoil,
What needeth you to seek so far in vain?
For lo my love doth in herself contain
All this world´s riches that may far be found:
If sapphires, lo, her eyes be sapphires plain;
If rubies,lo,her lips be rubies sound:
If pearls, her teeth be pearls, both pure and round;
If ivory, her forehead ivory ween;
If gold, her locks are finest gold on ground;
If silver, her fair hands are silver sheen.
But that which fairest is and few behold -
Her mind adorned with virtues manifold.

Ween - beautiful
