With all his borrow’d lights away,
Till night’s black wings do overtake me,
Thinking on thee, thy beauties then,
As sudden lights do sleepy men,
So they by their bright rays awake me.”

our lightning strikes when the earth rises,

to break the armored and concluded mind.”

From mine own library with volumes that
I prize above my dukedom.”
