XX. SONETTE PEDANTESQUE.
Transfretant fleshe by Sol by luna's Lux,
whose bookes I doe admyre, Commend deare vix,
who after perrelous procells is redux
to keepe thy fame from Letheen Laik and Stix,
O singled simple soule, als whyte as nix,
who neuer was to hard constructions trux,
who liquefacts our eyes as fyre dothe pix,
and moves more teares then theeues who murnns on crux,
Let these my Lynes, besetting not my vox,
perverberat eache eares er Orcus Rex
apert the passage of your fatal nox,
or by muche prayse accelerat your nex,
force of your poets encomiastics pax,
who lights there pitchte but from your flaxen fax.
