SONNET XXXII.

[Scarse twise seuen times had Phœbus waggon wheele]

Scarse twise seuen times had Phœbus waggon wheele
Obliquely wandred through the Zodiacke line,

21

Since nature first to Ops did me resigne,
VVhen in mine youthfull vaine I well could feele
A lustfull rage, which reasons cheanes of steele
VVith headstrong force of lust did still vntwine,
To wanton fancies I did then encline:
VVhilst mine vnbridled Phaeton did reele
VVith heedlesse rage, till that his chariot camme
To take in fould his resting with the Ramme
But bootlesse all: for such was his vnrest
That in no limittes he could be contained.
To lawlesse sportes and pleasures euer prest
And his swift wheeles, with their sweet oyle distained.
