SONG. A Beautifull Mistris.
IF when the sun at noone displayesHis brighter rayes,Thou but appear,He then all pale with shame and fear,Quencheth his light.Hides his dark brow, flyes from thy sight,And growes more dimCompar'd to thee, than stars to him.If thou but shew thy face again,When darkenesse doth at midnight raign,The darkenesse flyes, and light is hurl'd,Round about the silent world:So as alike thou driv'st away,Both light and darkenesse, night and day.
