Astrophel and Stella - Sonnet LVII
Who hauing made, with many fights, his owne Each sence of mine, each gift, each pow'r of mind; Growne now his slaues, he forst them out to find The thorowest words fit for Woes selfe to grone, Hoping that when they might finde Stella alone, Before she could prepare to be vnkind, Her soule, arm'd but with such a dainty rind, Should soone be pierc'd with sharpnesse of the mone. She heard my plaints, and did not onely heare, But them, so sweet is she, most sweetly sing, With that faire breast making Woes darknesse cleare. A pretie case; I hoped her to bring To feele my griefe; and she, with face and voyce, So sweets my paines that my paines me reioyce.
