CXXVII
In the old age black was not counted fair,
Or if it were, it bore not beauty's name;
But now is black beauty's
successive
heir,
And beauty slander'd with a bastard shame:
For since each hand hath put on Nature's power,
Fairing the foul with Art's false borrowed face,
Sweet beauty hath no name, no holy bower,
But is profan'd, if not lives in disgrace.

And therefore to your fair no painting set;

How far a modern quill doth come too short,

Or made them swear against the thing they see;

He had seven coats on when he came,
With three pair of boots--but the worst of it was,
He had wholly
forgotten
his name.

No cloud, no relique of the sunken day
Distinguishes
the West, no long thin slip
Of sullen Light, no obscure trembling hues.

As on the driving cloud the shiny bow,
That gracious thing made up of tears and light,
Mid the wild rack and rain that slants below
Stands smiling forth, unmoved and freshly bright:
As though the spirits of all lovely flowers,
Inweaving
each its wreath and dewy crown,
Or ere they sank to earth in vernal showers,
Had built a bridge to tempt the angels down.
