O you think it, gentle lady, that because my name is new, I should bow before your lineage, should be humble, dear, with you? But I love you : do you hear it ? I have crowned you with my crown; And in Love's fair state, my lady, is no looking up nor down. Were you fifty times a princess, by your love I should be king; And our love would be the only thing that each of us could bring. Are you proud of ancient honours ? — I am prouder of your grace. Are you proud of famous kinsmen ? — I am prouder of your face.
