Astrophel and Stella - Sonnet LXV
Loue, by sure proofe I may call thee vnkind, That giu'st no better ear to my iust cries; Thou whom to me such good turnes should bind, As I may well recount, but none can prize: For when, nak'd Boy, thou couldst no harbour finde In this old world, growne now so too, too wise, I lodgd thee in my heart, and being blind By nature borne, I gaue to thee mine eyes; Mine eyes! my light, my heart, my life, alas! If so great seruices may scorned be, Yet let this thought thy Tygrish courage passe, That I perhaps am somewhat kinne to thee; Since in thine armes, if learnd fame truth hath spread, Thou bear'st the Arrow, I the Arrow-head.
