| | | MY fate! O not my fault! hath me debarred | |
| From forth thy favour’s sunny sanctuary, | |
| Unto the dear applause of thy regard, | |
| Witness the world! how I, my guest did marry! | |
| My tears, my sighs; all have I summed in thee! | 5 |
| Conceit the total! do not partialise! | |
| And then accept of their infinity | |
| As part of payment to exacting eyes! | |
| And yet thy Trophy to ennoble more, | |
| My heart prepares anew to thesaurise | 10 |
| Sighs and love options such as it sent of yore, | |
| Save number they! faith only these englories! | |
| Yet though I thus enwealthy thy exchequer; | |
| Seem it not strange, I live ZEPHERIA’s debtor! | | | | |
