Seest thou not in clearest days	A
Oft thick fogs cloud Heaven's rays	A
And that vapours which do breathe	B
From the Earth's gross womb beneath	C
Seem unto us with black steams	D
To pollute the Sun's bright beams	D
And yet vanish into air	E
Leaving it unblemished fair	E
So my Willy shall it be	F
With Detraction's breath on thee	F
It shall never rise so high	G
As to stain thy poesy	D
As that sun doth oft exhale	H
Vapours from each rotten vale	H
Poesy so sometime drains	D
Gross conceits from muddy brains	D
Mists of envy fogs of spite	I
Twixt men's judgments and her light	I
But so much her power may do	J
That she can dissolve them too	J
If thy verse do bravely tower	K
As she makes wing she gets power	K
Yet the higher she doth soar	L
She's affronted still the more	L
Till she to the highest hath past	M
Then she rests with Fame at last	M
Let nought therefore thee affright	M
But make forward in thy flight	M
For if I could match thy rhyme	N
To the very stars I'd climb	N
There begin again and fly	G
Till I reached eternity	M
But alas my Muse is slow	O
For thy place she flags too low	O
Yea the more's her hapless fate	M
Her short wings were clipt of late	M
And poor I her fortune ruing	P
Am put up myself a mewing	P
But if I my cage can rid	M
I'll fly where I never did	M
And though for her sake I'm crost	M
Though my best hopes I have lost	M
And knew she would make my trouble	Q
Ten times more than ten times double	Q
I should love and keep her too	M
Spite of all the world could do	M
For though banished from my flocks	D
And confined within these rocks	D
Here I waste away the light	M
And consume the sullen night	M
She doth for my comfort stay	M
And keeps many cares away	M
Though I miss the flowery fields	D
With those sweets the spring tide yields	D
Though I may not see those groves	D
Where the shepherds chaunt their loves	D
And the lasses more excel	R
Than the sweet voiced Philomel	R
Though of all those pleasures past	M
Nothing now remains at last	M
But Remembrance poor relief	S
That more makes than mends my grief	S
She's my mind's companion still	R
Maugre envy's evil will	R
Whence she should be driven too	M
Were't in mortal's power to do	M
She doth tell me where to borrow	O
Comfort in the midst of sorrow	O
Makes the desolatest place	D
To her presence be a grace	D
And the blackest discontents	D
To be pleasing ornaments	D
In my former days of bliss	D
Her divine skill taught me this	D
That from everything I saw	D
I could some invention draw	D
And raise pleasure to her height	M
Through the meanest object's sight	M
By the murmur of a spring	P
Or the least bough's rustling	P
By a daisy whose leaves spread	M
Shut when Titan goes to bed	M
Or a shady bush or tree	M
She could more infuse in me	M
Than all Nature's beauties can	T
In some other wiser man	T
By her help I also now	U
Make this churlish place allow	U
Some things that may sweeten gladness	D
In the very gall of sadness	D
The dull loneness the black shade	M
That these hanging vaults have made	M
The strange music of the waves	D
Beating on these hollow caves	D
This black den which rocks emboss	D
Overgrown with eldest moss	D
The rude portals that give light	M
More to terror than delight	M
This my chamber of neglect	M
Walled about with disrespect	M
From all these and this dull air	E
A fit object for despair	E
She hath taught me by her might	M
To draw comfort and delight	M
Therefore thou best earthly bliss	D
I will cherish thee for this	D
Poesy thou sweet'st content	M
That e'er Heaven to mortals lent	M
Though they as a trifle leave thee	M
Whose dull thoughts cannot conceive thee	M
Though thou be to them a scorn	V
That to nought but earth are born	V
Let my life no longer be	M
Than I am in love with thee	M
Though our wise ones call thee madness	D
Let me never taste of gladness	D
If I love not thy maddest fits	D
More than all their greatest wits	D
And though some too seeming holy	M
Do account thy raptures folly	M
Thou dost teach me to contemn	V
What makes knaves and fools of them	W
