SONNET.

I Prethee turn that face away
Whose splendour but benights my day.
Sad eyes like mine, and wounded hearts
Shun the bright rayes which beauty da…ts.
Unwelcome is the Sun that pries
Into those shades where sorrow lies.

Go shine on happy things. To me
That blessing is a miserie:
Whom thy fierce Sun not warmes, but burnes,
Like that the …ooty Indian turnes.
Ile serve the night, and there confin'd
Wish thee less fair, or else more kind.
