Wittes Pilgrimage, Sonnet 31

IF Fire hath oft Barbarian Honors done it
By reason it resembles so the Sunne
Yet scarse is seene when his Raies ouer-runne it)
What would Barbarians to thine Haire haue donne?
Which (ô faire-Sweete!) oreshines Fire, Sunne, and all;
Whose rare resplendance no Eyes can behold
That are not (like it) most Angellicall,
And being so, will them, in wonder hold.
Then sith that Nature Crown'd Thee with such Light
As makes all Eyes, adoreing, wonder at,
Bee not, ô bee not then, in loue, so light
As makes thee darke by being This, to That:
My speach is darke; yet what by light I meane
Is more vnconstant, then it is vncleane.
