Sonnet 49

PLace me where angry Titan burnes the More,
And thirsty Africk fiery Monsters brings,
Or where the new-borne Phoenix spreads her Wings,
And troupes of wondring Birds her flight adore.
Place me by Gange or Indes enammell'd shore,
Where smiling Heavens on Earth cause double Springs▪
Place me where Neptunes Quire of Syrens sings,
Or where made hoarse through Cold he leaves to roare:
Place me where Fortune doth her Darlings crown,
A Wonder or a sparke in Envies Eye,
Or you outragious Fates upon me frown,
Till Pitty wailing fee disastred Me;
Affections print my mind so deep doth prove,
I may forget my Selfe; but not my Love.
