Astrophel and Stella - Sonnet LXXVI
She comes, and streight therewith her shining twins do moue Their rayes to me, who in their tedious absence lay Benighted in cold wo; but now appears my day, The only light of ioy, the only warmth of loue. She comes with light and warmth, which, like Aurora, proue Of gentle force, so that mine eyes dare gladly play With such a rosie Morne, whose beames, most freshly gay, Scorch not, but onely doe dark chilling sprites remoue. But lo, while I do speake, it groweth noone with me, Her flamie-glistring lights increse with time and place, My heart cries, oh! it burnes, mine eyes now dazl'd be; No wind, no shade can coole: what helpe then in my case? But with short breath, long looks, staid feet, and aching hed, Pray that my Sunne goe downe with meeker beames to bed.
