Shakespearean Sonnet To Mona Lisa

Iambic Pentameter A renaissance delight beguiles our sight. Such enigmatic smile on face doth hold our wonder why such cheer's in gentle light, and hidden secret's veiled from view untold. What name do we ascribe to model's grace. Is she from noble family fame and ease, but certain nomen's sore to know or trace, for artist gave us no clue known to seize. Does picture only show a simple gaze of painter's own self seen in lake that day, well hidden by disguise in lady's praise? A genius played a game some few would say. If game is played, tis more a better scene. Let be, for maid appears a regal queen.
