SONNET .XXXVII.

FAire is my loue that feedes among the Lillies, The Lillies growing in that pleasant garden, Where Cupids mount that welbeloued hill is, And where that little god himselfe is warden. See where my Loue sits in the beds of spices, Beset all round with Camphere, Myrrhe and Roses, And interlac'd with curious deuices, Which her from all the world apart incloses. There doth she tune her Lute for her delight, And with sweet musick makes the ground to moue, Whil'st I (poore I) doe sit in heauie plight, Wayling alone my vnrespected loue, Not daring rush into so rare a place, That giues to her and she to it a grace.
