Yet herein will I imitate the sun,
Who doth permit the base contagious clouds
To smother up his beauty from the world,
That when he please again to be himself,
Being wanted, he may be more wonder’d at

That being daily swallowed by men’s eyes,
They surfeited with honey, and began to loathe
The taste of sweetness, whereof a little
More than a little, is by much too much.
