1593-1603 by Shakespeare 
Sonnet 37 

1	As a decrepit father takes delight
2	To see his active child do deeds of youth,
3	So I, made lame by fortune’s dearest spite,
4	Take all my comfort of thy worth and truth#
5	For whether beauty, birth, or wealth, or wit,
6	Or any of these all, or all, or more,
7	Entitled in thy parts do crownèd sit,
8	I make my love engrafted to this store.
9	So then I am not lame, poor, nor despised,
10	Whilst that this shadow doth such substance give
11	That I in thy abundance am sufficed
12	And by a part of all thy glory live.
13	Look what is best, that best I wish in thee#
14	This wish I have, then ten times happy me.
