Sonnet. XXIII.

[Father of Pietie by this wee know]

Father of Pietie by this wee know
The glories greater of thy gracious loue
Then of desires which carnal fancies moue:
For if wee praise a mortall shape below
By flattery their Diuinities wee show,
Comparing them their perfectnesse aboue:
Their cheekes to Roses, their neckes white to Doue,
Their eyes to starres from whence all fortunes flow:
Their eyes effects to the Meridian Sunne,
Their modest thoughts to the colde Virgine moone.
Oh fooles, fooles ignorant, when this is donne,
Wee know wee flatter them, then Muses soone
Why turne you not your numbers musicall
To God aboue mans praise which ruleth all?
