An allusion to the Aegl…ts. Sonnet 56 (Sonnet 56)

MY thoughts bred vp with Eagle-birds of loue,
And for their vertues I desirde to know;
Vpon the neast I set them forth, to proue
If they were of the Eagles kinde, or no.
But they no sooner sawe my sunne appeare,
But on her raies with gazing eyes they stoode,
Which proou'd my birds delighted in the aire,
And that they came of this rare kingly broode.
But now their plumes full summde with sweete desire,
To shew their kinde, beganne to clime the skies:
Doe what I could, my Eglets would aspire,
Strait mounting vp to thy celestiall eies.
And thus (my Faire) my thoughts away be flowne,
And from my breast into thine eies be gone.
