SONNET. XLVI.

[So soone as peeping Lucifer Auroraes starre]

So soone as peeping Lucifer Auroraes starre,
The skie with golden perewigs doth spangle,
So soone as Phœbus giues vs light from farre
So soone as fowler doth the bird entangle,
Soone as the watchfull bird (clocke of the morne)
Giues intimation of the dayes appearing,
Soone as the iollie Hunter windes his horne
His speech & voyce with customes Eccho clearing,
Soone as the hungrie Lion seekes his praie,
In solitary range of pathles mountaines,
Soone as the passenger sets on his waie,
So soone as beastes resort vnto the fountaines:
So soone mine eyes their office are discharing,
And I my griefes with greater griefes inlarging.
