Sonnet 85. My tongue-tied muse in manners holds her still
My tongue-tied muse in manners holds her still
While comments of your praise richly compiled
Reserve their character with golden quill
And precious phrase by all the Muses filed.
I think good thoughts, whilst other write good words
And like unlettered clerk still cry Amen
To every hymn that able spirit affords
In polished form of well refined pen.
