Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimmed;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,”

Call’d him soft names in many a mused rhyme,

Now more than ever seems it rich to die,
To cease upon the midnight with no pain,
While thou art pouring forth thy soul abroad
In such an ecstasy!’
Still wouldst thou sing, and I have ears in vain—
To thy high requiem become a sod.

So deep in luve am I;
And I will luve thee still, my dear,
Till a’ the seas gang dry.
