"From fairest creatures we desire increase,",
"That thereby beauty's rose might never die,",
"But as the riper should by time decease,",
"His tender heir might bear his memory:",
"But thou contracted to thine own bright eyes,",
"Feed'st thy light's flame with self-substantial fuel,",
"Making a famine where abundance lies,",
"Thy self thy foe, to thy sweet self too cruel:",
"Thou that art now the world's fresh ornament,",
"And only herald to the gaudy spring,",
"Within thine own bud buriest thy content,",
"And tender churl mak'st waste in niggarding:",
" Pity the world, or else this glutton be,",
" To eat the world's due, by the grave and thee."
