Sonnet. V.
His shadow to Narcissus well presented
how faire hee was by such attracting loue:
so if thou would'st thy selfe thy beauty proue,
vulgar breath-myrrors might haue wel contented,
And to theyr prayers eternally consented
Others, vowes, & sighes, if they beliefe might moue,
but more thou forst, making my pen aproue
thy praise to all, least any had disented.
With this hath wrought, you which before wert known
but vnto some, of all art now required,
& thine eies wonders wrong'd, because not shown
the world, with daily orizons desired.
Thy chast faire gifts, with learnings breath is blowne,
And thus my pen hath made thy sweetes admired.
