Nor gentle eve distills the dew.

Astrophel And Stella: Xxxix

The baiting-place of wit, the balm of woe,
The poor man's wealth, the prisoner's release,
Th' indifferent judge between the high and low.

O Phoebus! down the western sky,
Far hence diffuse thy burning ray,
Thy light to distant worlds supply,
And wake them to the cares of day.

Not the soft sighs of vernal gales,
The fragrance of the flowery vales,
The murmurs of the crystal rill,
The vocal grove, the verdant hill;

Pleasure might cause her read, reading might make her know,

Sonnet 01

Whether you tourneyed with victorious lance
Or brought sweet roundelays to Stella's bower,

Astrophel And Stella: Lxiv
No more, my dear, no more these counsels try;
Oh, give my passions leave to run their race;
Let Fortune lay on me her worst disgrace;
Let folk o'ercharg'd with brain against me cry;

Whose talons held young Ganymede above:

Sonnet 52: A Strife Is Grown
A strife is grown between Virtue and Love,
While each pretends that Stella must be his:

Since they do wear his badge, most firmly prove.

By losing her bearings in a fog, and received some terrible shocks.
