| | | EACH Creature ioyes Appollos happie sight, | |
| And feede them selues with his fayre beames reflecting. | |
| Nyght wandering trauelers at Cinthias sight, | |
| Clere vp their clowdy thoughts fond fere reiecting | |
| But darke disdayne eclipsed hath my sun, | 5 |
| VVhose shining beames my wandering thought were guiding, | |
| For want whereof my little worlde is done | |
| That I vnneath can stay my mind from sliding: | |
| O happie birds that at your pleasure maie, | |
| Behold the glorious light of sols a raies: | 10 |
| Most wretched I borne in some dismall daie, | |
| That cannot see the beames my sun displaies, | |
| My glorious sun in whome all vertue shrowds, | |
| That light the world but shines to me in clowds. | | | | |
