What should I fear,

Having all joys about me? Do you smile,

And love shall play the wanton on your lip,

Meet and retire, retire and meet again:

Look you but cheerfully, and in your eyes

I shall behold mine own deformity,

And dress myself up fairer; I know this shape

Becomes me not, but in those bright mirrors

I shall array me handsomely.
