Du Bartas | ||
Sonnet 14.
[A spirit, to vertues cheerfully addrest]
A spirit, to vertues cheerfully addrest;Apt to all goodnes, to no ill inclin'd;
Quick to conceiue, ingenious to digest;
Whose tongue is still true trumpet of the minde:
A body, resting when it hath no rest;
A waxen mildnes in a steely minde;
A soule tra-lucent in an open brest,
Which others thoughts through boany wals can finde;
Whose front reflects maiestical-humility,
Whose graue-sweet look commandingly-intreats,
Which in one instant fear and loue begets:
A King still warring to obtain tranquillity,
To saue his Country scorning thousand dangers;
Mirror of Fraunce, and miracle of Strangers.
Du Bartas | ||
