3. Sonet.
[Beauty beeing long a resident aboue]
Beauty beeing long a resident aboue,With importune celestiall sutes was deau'd,
Of sacred sprites who still her fauour crau'd,
That she from thence resolued to remooue:
And so at last from top of all the Rounds,
Loue on his wings conuoy'd her here below,
Where she not willing any should her know,
Sought out the North to be her resting bounds.
There she remains her name being chang'd, yet stil
For beauty now faire Cælia she is cal'd,
Whose sight sometimes, as it the gods all thral'd,
So now her lookes poore humane soules doth kil.
And oh no wonder! if they thus do end,
Since they but faile where gods could not defend.
