Caelica, Sonnet LXXIX

AS when men see a Blazing starre appeare,
Each stirres vp others leuitie to wonder,
In restlesse thoughts holding those visions deare,
Which threaten to rent Gouernment in sunder;
Yet be but horrors, from vaine hearts sent forth,
To prophecie against Annointed worth:

So likewise mankinde, when true Gouernment
Her great examples to the world brings forth,
Straight in the errors natiue discontent,
Sees apparitions opposite to worth;
Which gathers such sense out of Enuies beames,
As still casts imputation on Supreames.
