OTHELLO

« HE WAS NOT FOR AN AGE, BUT FOR ALL TIME. » Ben Jonson (1572-1637)

• My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun;
• Coral is far more red than her lips' red;
• If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun;
• If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head.
• I have seen roses damasked, red and white,
• But no such roses see I in her cheeks;
• And in some perfumes is there more delight
• Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks.
• I love to hear her speak, yet well I know
• That music hath a far more pleasing sound;
• I grant I never saw a goddess go;
• My mistress, when she walks, treads on the
• ground:
• And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare
• As any she belied with false compare.
