Grace

Hyperion’s curls, the front of Jove himself,
An eye like Mars, to threaten and command.”

“Loving in truth, and fain in verse my love to show,
That she, dear she, might take some pleasure of my pain,
Pleasure might cause her read, reading might make her know,
Knowledge might pity win, and pity grace obtain,
I sought fit words to paint the blackest face of woe:”
—Sir Philip Sidney (1554–1586)

To Death they set apart;
With scanty grace from Nature’s hand,
And none from that of Art.”
