A lovely request!

Amoretti Sonnet 163 is a beautiful poem by Edmund Spenser, an English poet, and the 16th sonnet in his collection "Amoretti". Here it is:

"Stay, O fairest beauty, and behold Thy self, in this, thy fairest mirror's hold; For in this glass, thy beauty doth unfold, And in thy eyes, thy beauty doth enfold.

Thy lips, like roses, red and fresh as May, Do tempt my lips to kiss, and make them stay; Thy eyes, like stars, that in the firmament play, Do shine so bright, that all my senses sway.

Thy hair, like golden threads, doth softly lie, And in thy voice, a sweet melodious sigh; Thy skin, like alabaster, smooth and white as snow, Doth tempt my touch, and make my senses glow.

So stay, O fairest beauty, and behold Thy self, in this, thy fairest mirror's hold."

This sonnet is a beautiful expression of admiration and adoration for the beloved, with vivid descriptions of her beauty and a sense of longing to be with her.
