And is it a sonnet? It has 14 lines, but the meter and rhyme schemes are not the usual ones for a sonnet.
A Lover's View
If sweets could make her sweeter
I'd give her sweets.
She needs no sweets.
If flowers would make her fairer
I'd send my garden's bower,
Yet her beauty no ornaments from flowers lacks.
If with suave ointments, her complexion would take
A purer, rosier hue
I'd send a few;
But none could even a slight addition make.
If any enhancement of loveliness to loveliness were due
I'd pledge my every worth to make it true;
But nothing would, by any circumspection,
Serve to increase what is now perfection.
