SONNET XXIIII.

[These mine hart-eating eyes doe neuer gaze]

These mine hart-eating eyes doe neuer gaze
Vpon thy sonnes harmonious marble wheeles
But from these eyes through force of thy sunnes blaze
Raine teares continuall, whiles my faithes true steeles
Tempred on anueile of thine harts could flint
Strikes marrow-melting fier into mine eyes:
The tinder whence my passions doe not stint
As matches to those sparkles which arise.
Which when the taper of mine hart is lighted
Like Salamanders nurrish in the flame
And all the loues with my new torch delighted
A while like gnattes did florish in the same
But burnt their winges, nor any way could frame
To flye from thence, since Ioues proud byrd that beares
His thunder veu'd my sunne but shed downe teares.
