SONNET. LIIII.
[If great Apollo offered as a dower]
If great Apollo offered as a dowerHis burning throne to Beauties excellence:
If Ioue himselfe came in a golden shower
Downe to the earth to fetch faire Io thence:
If Venus in the curled locks were tied
Of proud Adonis not of gentle kind:
If Tellus for a shepheards fauour died,
(The fauour cruell loue to her assign'd)
If heauens winged Herrald Hermes had
His heart inchanted with a countrie maide:
If poore Pygmalion were for beautie mad:
If gods and men haue all for beautie straide,
I am not then asham'd to be included
Mongst those that loue and be with loue deluded.
Fidessa | ||
