Dear Sire

Dear Sire, minstrel and poet oh most dear 
prithee doth tell whilst thou with quill adore 
thine art of rarest breed, mine heart doth peer 
whereon I do beseech thee write me more 

of yesterday's sweet sinks, for ne'er in hie    
didst ask of thee,  why doth mine eyelids sleep? 
such was the word upon ye lips to die   
for sake of passion is to live in deep 

E'er mine memory serveth long and true 
aside the likes of you none else shouldst do 
forsaking all the glories of a strangers brew
I choose thine own to rest upon thy dew 

Oh flower of incarnadine and shine  
in dainty maketh dearth as rare as thine

once you have decided the standard for whomever your desires yearn hard to reach further than the perfection your heart perceives...my first thought after reading your sonnet
