[XXVI. A Silly Siluan, kissing heauen-borne fire]

A silly Siluan, kissing heauen-borne fire

A silly Siluan, kissing heauen-borne fire, scorched his lips for his so fond desire: I not so fond, but gaz'd, whilst such fire burned, And all my hart straight into flames was turned: And all my hart straight into flames was turned, And all my hart, straight into flames was turned. His fire was stolne, and stolne things goe amisse, But I alas vniustly, but I alas vniustly, for to haue her her heauenly fire the Gods & graces gaue her, the Gods and graces gaue her. the Gods and graces gaue her.
