VIRGINS.
Sonet. XVI.
O thou the fairest flowre of mortall birth,If such a beautie may be borne of earth,
Angell or Virgin, which? or both in one,
Angell by beauty, Virgin by thy moane,
Say, who is He that may deserve these teares,
These precious drops? Who is't can stop his eares
At these faire lips? Speake Lady, speake at large,
Who is't? For whom giv'st thou so strict a charge?
