Sonnet 15.
[If that, before thee fall rebellious Towers]
If that, before thee fall rebellious Towers,If battered Walls, before thy Souldiers, loofe;
If hugest Rocks be pearced by thy powers;
If 'gainst thine Armes, no armour be of proof:
If that our fields flowe with Iberian blood,
If that thy Camp compos'd of many a Cæsar
Can by no dismall dangers be withstood;
Iousting with Gyants, as it were at pleasure:
If lofty Mountains to thine homage vail;
If valleys rise to bulwarke thee about;
If for thy sake, riuers doo flowe and fail;
'Twas neither Canons, nor our conflicts stout,
Nor strength, nor stomack got these victories:
No, 'twas thy presence (Henry) and thine eyes.
