Astrophel And Stella - Sonnet Vi
Some louers speake, when they their Muses entertaine, Of hopes begot by feare, of wot not what desires, Of force of heau'nly beames infusing hellish paine, Of liuing deaths, dere wounds, faire storms, and freesing fires: Some one his song in Ioue and Ioues strange tales attires, Bordred with buls and swans, powdred with golden raine: Another, humbler wit, to shepherds pipe retires, Yet hiding royall bloud full oft in rurall vaine. To some a sweetest plaint a sweetest stile affords: While teares poure out his inke, and sighes breathe out his words, His paper pale despaire, and pain his pen doth moue. I can speake what I feele, and feele as much as they, But thinke that all the map of my state I display When trembling voyce brings forth, that I do Stella loue.
