Sonnet V.

[The little Archer viewing well my loue]

The little Archer viewing well my loue,
stone-still amaz'd, admired such a sight,
And swore he knew none such to dwell aboue,
though many faire, none so conspicuous bright:
With that inrag'd, (flamigerous as he is)
he now gan loathe his Psiches louely face,
And swore great othes to rob me of my blisse,
saying that earth for her was too too base;
But Cytherea checkt her lordly sonne,
commaunding him to bring no giglet thether,
Fearing indeed, her amorous sports were done
with hote-spur Mars, if hee should once but see her.
If then her beauty moue the Gods aboue,
Let all men iudge if I haue cause to loue.
