Classic Poem

Sonnet. III.

What view'd I deere when I thine eyes beheld?
Loue in his glory? no, him Thyrsis saw,
and stoode the boy, whilst hee his darts did draw,
whose painted pride to baser swaines he tell'd.
Saw I two sunnes? that sight is seene but seld,
yet can their broode that teach the holy law.
gaze on their beames, and dread them not a straw,
where princely lookes are by their eyes repeld.
What saw I then? doubtlesse it was Amen,
arm'd with strong thunder & a lightnings flame,
who bridgroome like, with power was riding than
meaning that none should see him when he came.
Yet did I gaze, and thereby caught the wound
Which burnes my hart, and keepes my body sound.
