When I beheld the faire face of Phyllis sleeping

When I beheld the faire face of Phyllis sleeping I shewd my ioy by weeping: And kissing oft her cheeks with roses stained, To my self I thus cōplained, now feed your selues my feeble eies with gazing, while her eies with a clowd of sleepe are kept from blazing, and thou my hart, whō she hath fired, dispaire not of thy desired, As now mine eies are pleased, So haply when she awakes, yu shalt be eased.
