Sonnets Ms. Pitcher
English 1
Happy, ye leaves! when as those lilly handsWhich hold my life in their dead-doing mightShall handle you, and hold in loves soft bands,Lyke captives trembling at the victors sight.And happy lines! on which, with starry light.Those lamping eyes will deigne sometimes to look,And reade the sorrowes of my dying spright,And happy rymes! bath'd in the sacred brookeOf Helicon, whence she derived is.When ye behold that Angels blessed looke,My soules long-lacked food, my heavens blis,Leaves, lines, and rymes, seeke her to please alone,Whom if ye please, I care for other none!

may explain the depth of his love, while others may praise his beloved.
