X. SONETT PEDANTESQUE.
transcendant Sun! Sublime irradiant lux!quhase solshyne rayes my eyes to vewe dar vix,
quha in tempestouous procells is my dux,
and keips my name fro Lethes Laike and stix,
o charming circe! o lesbia faire as nix!
quha to my cupidineous thoughts is trux,
quha liquefacts my spreits as fyre dois pix,
and maks my lyfe exspyre as theif on crux,
lat thir hoarse [?] clamours of my vaucal vox
perverberat your eares or orcus vex,
facilitat the passage of my nox,
and with his darte accelerat my nex:
bot gif the fates will not permitt me pax,
Lat atrops kill by falx as love be fax.
