Sonnet II.
You sacred Sea-nimphes pleasantly disporting,Amidst this watrie world, where now I saile:
IF euerloue, or louers sad reporting,
Had power sweet teares from your faire eyes to hayle:
And you more gentle-hearted then the rest,
Vnder the Northren Noon-stede sweetly streaming:
Lend those moyst riches of your christall crest,
To quench the flames from my hearts AEtna steaming.
And thou kinde Briton in thy trompet relish,
The ruthfull accents of my discontent:
That midst this treauell desolate and hellish,
Some gentle winde that listens my lament.
May prattle in the north in Phillis eares
Where Phillis wants Damon consumes in teares.
