VII. SONET. IN ORKNAY.
Vpon the vtmost corners of the warld, orknay.and on the borders of this massiue round,
quhaire fates and fortoune hither hes me harld,
I doe deplore my greiffs vpon this ground;
and seing roring seis from roks rebound
by ebbs and streames of contrair routing tyds,
and phebus chariot in there wawes ly dround,
quha equallye now night and day devyds,
I cal to mynde the storms my thoughts abyds,
which euer wax and never dois decress,
for nights of dole dayes Ioys ay euer hyds,
and in there vayle doith al my weill suppress:
so this I see, quhaire euer I remove,
I chainge bot sees, but can not chainge my love.
M. W. F.
