Sonnet. LXXI.

[O glorious Crowne more precious many waies]

O glorious Crowne more precious many waies,
Then simple humaine Temples can deserue,
Thrice glorious God who doth that Crowne reserue
For men vnworthie to set out his praise.
Oh mortall Temples what Muse can you raise,
Which vnhard precious spirits doth reserue
His praise most meritorious to serue?
Admit that past all number were your daies,
Admit your spirit more then the fower windes,
Admit your learning bee (by more degrees)
Aboue the Seraphins, admit all kindes
Of Musickes instruments inferiour were
(In heau'nly tunes and sacred harmonies)
To thy sweete voice, all cannot his praise beare.
