Classic Poem

Ev'n as the Persians aunciently were v'sd
With reu'rence to salute the rising Sunne
And as his Beames were more in't them infus'd
The more Deuotion did their Soules orerunne:
So, when Thou risest in Loues Hemispheare
Desire saluts Thee with a mild aspect:
But, to his Zenith , when Thou drawest neere,
Thou Him enragest with Beames more direct!
I do desire Thou should'st looke right on me,
Athough those Lookes doo but enrage Desire:
Yet if that rage may rest it selfe in Thee,
Let all thy Beames sett all myne All on fire:
Where, if I burne to Sinders, yet I shall
Burne in thy loue, more deere then all that All .
