Sonnet XX.
[The strongest Pyne that Queene Feronia hath]
The strongest Pyne that Queene Feronia hath,growing within her woody Emperie,
Is soone throwne downe by Boreas windy wrath,
if one roote onely his supporter be,
The tallest Ship that cuts the angry Waue,
and plowes the Seas of Saturnes second sunne;
If but one Anchor for a iourney haue,
when that is lost gainst euery Rocke doth runne;
I am that Pyne (faire loue) that Ship am I,
and thou that Anchor art and roote to me,
If then thou faile, (oh faile not) I must die,
and pyne away in endlesse miserie:
But words preuaile not, nor can sighes deuise,
To mooue thy hart, if bent to tyrannize.
