Sir Philip Sidney - Astrophel and Stella: Sonnet LXXXII (Nymph of the garden where all beauties be,) lyrics

Nymph of the garden where all beauties be, Beauties which do in excellency pa** His who till d**h look'd in a wat'ry gla**, Or hers, whom naked the Trojan boy did see; Sweet garden nymph, which keeps the cherry tree Whose fruit doth far th'Hesperian taste surpa**; Most sweet-fair, most fair-sweet, do not alas, From coming near those cherries banish me: For though full of desire, empty of wit, Admitted late by your best-graced Grace, I caught at one of them a hungry bit, Pardon that fault. Once more grant me the place And I do swear e'en by the same delight, I will but kiss, I never more will bite.
