Astrophell to Stella, his third Song.

If Orpheus voyce had force to breathe such musiques loue
Through pores of sencelesse trees, as it could make them moue:
If stones good measure daunc'd, the Thebane walls to build
To cadence of the tunes, which Amphyons Lyre did yeeld:
More cause a like effect at least-wise bringeth,
O stones, ô trees, learne hearing, Stella singeth.
Jf Loue might sweet'n so a boy of Sheepheards broode,
To make a {Ly}zard dull to tast Loues daintie foode:
If Eagle fierce could so in Grecian Mayde delight,
As his light was her eyes, her death his endlesse night:
Earth gaue that Loue, heau'n I trow Loue defineth,
O beasts, ô birds, looke, Loue, loe, Stella shineth.
The birds, stones, and trees feele this, and feeling Loue,
And if the trees, nor stones stirre not the same to proue:


Nor beasts, nor birds doo come vnto this blessed gaze,
Know, that small Loue is quicke, and great Loue dooth amaze.
They are amaz'd, but you with reason armed,
O eyes, ô eares of men, how are you charmed?
FINIS.
S. Phil. Sidney.
