Sonnet XVII.
[The sun-scorcht Sea-man when he sees the Seas]
The sun-scorcht Sea-man when he sees the Seasall in a furie hoist him to the skye,
And throwe him down againe (as waues do please)
(so chased clouds from Eols mastiues flye)
In such distresse prouideth with great speede
all meanes to saue him from the tempests rage,
Hee shewes his wit in such lyke time of neede,
the big-swolne billowes furie to asswage;
But foolish I; although I see my death,
and feels her proud disdayne too feelinglie,
VVhich me of all felicitie bereaueth,
yet seeke no meanes t'escape this miserie:
So am I charm'd with hart-inchaunting beautie,
That still to waile I thinke it is my dutie.
