GULLINGE SONNETS
By Sir John Davies

III.

What Eagle can behould her sunbrighte eye,
her sunbrighte eye y^t lights the world w^th loue,
the world of Loue wherein I liue and dye,
I liue and dye and diuers chaunges proue,
I chaunges proue, yet still the same am I,
The same am I and neuer will remoue,
neuer remoue vntill my soule dothe flye,
my soule dothe fly, and I surcease to moue,
I cease to moue w^ch now am mou'd by you,
am mou'd by you y^t moue all mortall hartes,
all mortall hartes whose eyes yo^r eyes doth veiwe,
Yo^r eyes doth veiwe whence Cupid shoots his darts,
whence Cupid shootes his dartes and woundeth those
that honor you and neuer weare⁴ his foes.
