Parthenophil and ParthenopheSonnet XXVI. When lovely wrath, my Mistress heart assaileth

And P
Placed in her cheeks, with lilies, where she lies!
And when She smiles, from her sweet looks and cheerful,
Like P
(After stern tempests, showers, and thunder fearful);
So She, my world’s delight, with her smiles hearteth!
A
Wearing her hair’s bright colour in her face!
And from love’s ruby portal lovely rushes,
For every word She speaks, an angel’s grace!
If She be silent, every man in place
With silence, wonders her! and if She sleep,
Air doth, with her breath’s murmur, music keep!
