Samuel Daniel - Sonnet XLVI: Let others sing of knights and paladines
Work rating: Low

XLVI
     Let others sing of knights and paladines
    In aged accents and untimely words;
    Paint shadows in imaginary lines
    Which well the reach of their high wits records:
    But I must sing of thee, and those fair eyes
    Authentic shall my verse in time to come,
    When yet th` unborn shall say, "Lo where she lies
    Whose beauty made him speak that else was dumb."
    These are the arks, the trophies I erect,
   That fortify thy name against old age;
   And these thy sacred virtues must protect
   Against the dark, and time`s consuming rage.
   Though th` error of my youth they shall discover,
   Suffice they show I liv`d and was thy lover.
