Astrophel and Stella - Sonnet CVII
Stella, since thou so right a princesse art Of all the Powers which Life bestowes on me, That ere by them ought vndertaken be, They first resort vnto that soueraigne part; Sweete, for a while giue thy lieutenancie To this great cause, which needes both use and art. And as a Queene, who from her presence sends Whom she employes, dismisse from thee my wit, Till it haue wrought what thy owne will attends. On seruants shame oft maisters blame doth sit: O let not fooles in me thy workes reproue, And scorning say, See what it is to loue!
