Seite 74 - If those eyes you praised be Half so dear as you to me, Let me home return, stark blinded Of those eyes, and blinder minded. ' If to secret of my heart I do any wish impart Where thou art not foremost placed, Be both wish and I defaced.

Seite 67 - Of those fierce darts despair at me doth throw; 0 make in me those civil wars to cease; 1 will good tribute pay, if thou do so. Take thou of me smooth pillows, sweetest bed, A chamber deaf to noise and blind to light, A rosy garland and a weary head; And if -these things, as being thine by right, Move not thy heavy grace, thou shalt in me, Livelier than elsewhere, Stella's image see.
Seite 75 - O take fast hold ; let that light be thy guide In this small course which birth draws out to death; And think how evil becometh him to slide, Who seeketh heaven, and comes of heavenly breath. Then farewell, world ; thy uttermost I see ; Eternal Love, maintain Thy life in me.
Seite 62 - LOVING in truth, and fain in verse my love to show, That she, dear she, might take some pleasure of my pain,— Pleasure might cause her read, reading might make her know, Knowledge might pity win, and pity grace obtain,— I sought fit words to paint the blackest face of woe, Studying inventions fine, her wits to entertain, Oft turning others' leaves, to see if thence would flow Some fresh and fruitful showers upon my sunburnt brain.
