Wittes Pilgrimage, Sonnet 30

SOme say the Weezel-masculine doth gender
With the Shee-Weezel only at the Eare
And she her Burden at hir Mouth doth render;
The like (sweet Loue) doth in our loue appeare:
For I (as Masculine) beget in Thee
Loue, at the Eare, which thou bearst at the Mouth
And though It came from Hart, and Reynes of me
From the Teeth outward It in thee hath growth.
My Mouth, thine Eares, doth euer chastly vse
With putting in hot Seed of actiue Loue;
Which, streight thine Ear conueyeth (like a Sluce)
Into thy Mouth; and, there but Aire doth proue:
Yet Aire is actiue; but, not like the fire
Then ô how should the Sonne be like the Sire?
