With feathers, like a lady bright,
Thou sing’st alone, sitting by night,
Te whit! Te whoo! Te whit! To whit!”

The world shall find this miracle in me,
That fire can burn when all the matter’s spent:
Then what my faith hath been thyself shalt see,
And that thou wast unkind thou may’st repent.—
Thou may’st repent that thou hast scorn’d my tears,
When Winter snows upon thy sable hairs.”
—Samuel Daniel (1562–1619)
