947943doe it in hope of faire aduantages:

948944A golden minde stoopes not to showes of drosse,

949945Ile then nor giue nor hazard ought for lead.

950946What sayes the siluer with her virgin hue?

951947Who chooseth me, shal get as much as he deserues.

952948As much as he deserues, pause there Morocho,

953949and weigh thy valew with an euen hand,

954950If thou beest rated by thy estimation

955951thou doost deserue enough, and yet enough

956952May not extend so farre as to the Ladie:

957953And yet to be afeard of my deseruing

958954were but a weake disabling of my selfe.

959955As much as I deserue, why thats the Ladie.

960956I doe in birth deserue her, and in fortunes,

961957in graces, and in qualities of breeding:

962958but more then these, in loue I doe deserue,

963959what if I straid no farther, but chose heere?

964960Lets see once more this saying grau'd in gold:

965961Who chooseth me shall gaine what many men desire:

966962Why thats the Ladie, all the world desires her.

967963From the foure corners of the earth they come

968964to kisse this shrine, this mortall breathing Saint.

969965The Hircanion deserts, and the vastie wildes

970966Of wide Arabia are as throughfares now

971967for Princes to come view faire Portia.

972968The waterie Kingdome, whose ambitious head

973969Spets in the face of heauen, is no barre

974970To stop the forraine spirits, but they come

975971as ore a brooke to see faire Portia.

976972One of these three containes her heauenly picture.

977973Ist like that leade containes her, twere damnation

978974to thinke so base a thought, it were too grosse

979975to ribb her serecloth in the obscure graue,

980976Or shall I thinke in siluer shees immurd

981977beeing tenne times vndervalewed to tride gold,

982978O sinful thought, neuer so rich a Iem

983979was set in worse then gold. They haue in England
