SONNET XXXIIII.
[But when in May my worldes bright fierie sunne]
But when in May my worldes bright fierie sunneHad past in Zodiacke with his golden teame
To place his beames which in the twynnes begunne,
The blazing twynne starres of my worldes bright beame
My mistresse eyes, mine heauens bright sunne, and moone,
The starres by which poore shepheard I am warned
To pinne in late, and put my flockes out soone,
My flockes of fancies as the signes me learned:
Then did my loues first spring beginne to sproute,
So long as my sunnes heate in those signes rayned.
But wandring all the Zodiacke throughout
From her mayes twynnes, my sunne such heate constrained,
That where at first I litle had complained,
From signe to signe, in such course he now posteth
VVhich dayly me, with hotter flaming tosteth.
