| Seccombe and Arber, comps. Elizabethan Sonnets. 1904. | | | | Parthenophil and Parthenophe | | Sonnet LXXXVIII. Within thine eyes, mine heart takes all his rest! | | Barnabe Barnes (1569?–1609) |
| | | WITHIN thine eyes, mine heart takes all his rest! | |
| In which, still sleeping, all my sense is drowned. | |
| The dreams, with which my senses are opprest, | |
| Be thousand lovely fancies turning round | |
| The restless wheel of my much busy brain. | 5 |
| The morning; which from resting doth awake me, | |
| Thy beauty! banished from my sight again, | |
| When I to long melancholy betake me. | |
| Then full of errors, all my dreams I find! | |
| And in their kinds contrarious, till the day | 10 |
| (Which is her beauty) set on work my mind; | |
| Which never will cease labour! never stay! | |
| And thus my pleasures are but dreams with me; | |
| Whilst mine hot fevers, pains quotidian be. | | | | |
