XXII.
The day is done, the Sunn dothe ells declyne,night now appr[o]aches, and the Moone appeares,
the tuinkling starrs in firmament dois schyne,
decoring with the poolles there circled spheres;
the birds to nests, wyld beasts to denns reteirs,
the moving leafes vnmoved now repose,
dewe dropps dois fall, the portraicts of my teares,
the wawes within the seas theme calmlye close:
to all things nature ordour dois Impose,
bot not to love that proudlye dothe me thrall,
quha all the dayes and night, but chainge or choyse,
steirs vp the coales of fyre vnto my fall,
and sawes his breirs and thornes within my hart,
the fruits quhairoff ar doole, greiff, grones, and smart.
