[XVI. You blacke bright starres]

You blacke bright starres

You blacke bright starres, that shine while dailight lasteth Ah why hast you away when night time hasteth? In darker nights the starres stil seeme the lighter. On me shine then anights with your beames brighter Beames that are cause my hart hath so aspired, Fire mounts aloft and they my hart haue fired.
