Sonnet CLVIII.
Siccome eterna vita veder Dio. ALL HIS HAPPINESS IS IN GAZING UPON HER. As life eternal is with God to be, No void left craving, there of all possess'd, So, lady mine, to be with you makes blest, This brief frail span of mortal life to me. So fair as now ne'er yet was mine to see-- If truth from eyes to heart be well express'd-- Lovely and blessd spirit of my breast, Which levels all high hopes and wishes free. Nor would I more demand if less of haste She show'd to part; for if, as legends tell And credence find, are some who live by smell, On water some, or fire who touch and taste, All, things which neither strength nor sweetness give, Why should not I upon your dear sight live? MACGREGOR.
