Sonetto. 26.
[Wheare true desire, (in simpathie of minde)]
Wheare true desire, (in simpathie of minde)Hath ioin'd the heartes, with Aphrodites delight,
Mere louing zeale, (to swete aspect inclin'd)
Will finde a time in spite of fortunes might.
Argvs foresight, whose wake-full heedie eyes
Seeke to preuent the wynged Gods commaunde,
Is all to weake his charmes for to surprise;
Gainst whose resolue his cunning could not stande:
Yet if in Delphos sleepie laye the God,
Authoritie gainst Hundreth eies had fayld,
But Mercvrie, with his enchaunting rod;
Brought all a sleepe; when Argus loue assayl'd:
Then since such happs to watching is assign'd,
Nothinge is harde where willing is the minde.
