Sonnet xxxviij.

VVho lyues inthrald to Cupid and his flame,
From day to day is chang'd in sundry sort:
The proofe whereof my selfe may well report,
Who oft transformd by him may teach the same.
I first was turnd into a wounded Hart,
That bare the bloodie arrow in my side:
Then to a Swanne that midst the waters glide,
With pittious voyce presagd my deadlie smart.
Eft-soones I waxt a faint and fading flower,
Then was I made a fountaine suddaine dry,
Distilling all my teares from troubled eye:
Novv am I Salamander by his power,
Liuing in flames, but hope ere long to be
A voice, to talke my Mistresse maiestie.
