Astrophel and Stella - Sonnet LI
Pardon mine ears, both I and they do pray, So may your tongue still flauntingly proceed To them that do such entertainment need, So may you still haue somewhat new to say. On silly me do not the burthen lay Of all the graue conceits your braine doth breed, But find some Hercules to beare, insteed Of Atlas tyrd, your wisedoms heau'nly sway. For me, while you discourse of courtly tides, Of cunningest fishers in most troubled streames, Of straying waies, when valiant Errour guides, Meanewhile my heart confers with Stellas beames, And is e'en woe that so sweet comedie By such vnsuted speech should hindred be.
