[That mighty Loue, though blinde of both his eies]
That mighty Loue, though blinde of both his eies,Doth hit the Center of the wounded hart:
And though a boy yet Mars he foiles with dart,
Awaking him, where in his net he lies:
And that his flames doe freeze me in such wise,
That from my soule a feare doth neuer start
Most base and vile: yet to the highest part
(Strengthned by land and sea) of heauen it flies.
That he, whom Loue doth wound or prisoner take,
Liues in his greefes, and with his giues content:
This is his might that many woonder at.
And that the soule which greatest paine doth shake,
If that it doth but thinke of Loues torment,
The feare of such a thought forgetteth that.
