Sonnet 82
He may our prophet, and our tutor prove,
In whom alone we do this power find,
To join two hearts as in one frame to move;
Two bodies, but one soul to rule the mind.5
Eyes which must care to one dear object bind,
Ears to each others' speech as if above
All else, they sweet, and learned were; this kind
Content of lovers witnesseth true love.
It doth enrich the wits, and make you see
That in your self which you knew not before,
Forcing you to admire such gifts should be
Hid from your knowledge, yet in you the store.
Millions of these adorn the throne of Love,
How blest are they then, who his favors prove.experience
