William Shakespeare - Sonnet 20: “A woman`s face with nature`s own hand painted…”William Shakespeare - Sonnet 20: “A woman`s face with nature`s own hand painted…”
Work rating: Low


A woman`s face with nature`s own hand painted,  Hast thou the master mistress of my passion,  A woman`s gentle heart but not acquainted  With shifting change as is false women`s fashion,  An eye more bright than theirs, less false in rolling:  Gilding the object whereupon it gazeth,  A man in hue all hues in his controlling,  Which steals men`s eyes and women`s souls amazeth.  And for a woman wert thou first created,  Till nature as she wrought thee fell a-doting,  And by addition me of thee defeated,  By adding one thing to my purpose nothing.    But since she pricked thee out for women`s pleasure,    Mine be thy love and thy love`s use their treasure.
