Be thou then my Beauty named

Be thou then my Beauty named,

Since thy will is to be mine;

For by that I am enflamed

Which on all alike doth shine;

Others may the light admire,

I only truly feel the fire.

But if lofty titles move thee,

Challenge then a Sovereign's place;

Say I honour when I love thee,

Let me call thy kindness Grace:

State and Love things diverse be,

Yet will we teach them to agree.

Or if this be not sufficing,

Be thou styled my Goddess then:

I will love thee, sacrificing;

In thine honour hymns I'll pen:

To be thine, what canst thou more?

I'll love thee, serve thee, and adore.
