And broils root out the work of masonry,
Nor Mars his sword nor wars quick fire shall burn
The living record of your memory.

When, in disgrace with fortune and men's eyes...
Haply I think on thee, and then my state,
Like to the lark at break of day arising
From sullen earth, sings hymns at heaven's gate;
For thy sweet love remember'd such wealth brings
That then I scorn to change my state with kings.
