William Shakespeare - Sonnet 4: "Unthrifty loveliness, why dost thou spend..."William Shakespeare - Sonnet 4: "Unthrifty loveliness, why dost thou spend..."
Work rating: Low


Unthrifty loveliness, why dost thou spend Upon thy self thy beauty`s legacy? Nature`s bequest gives nothing, but doth lend, And being frank she lends to those are free: Then, beauteous niggard, why dost thou abuse The bounteous largess given thee to give? Profitless usurer, why dost thou use So great a sum of sums, yet canst not live? For having traffic with thy self alone, Thou of thy self thy sweet self dost deceive: Then how when nature calls thee to be gone, What acceptable audit canst thou leave?   Thy unused beauty must be tombed with thee,   Which, used, lives th` executor to be.
