Love

Sonnet 83

by Sir Philip Sidney 1554–1586

Love

HIgh way since you my chiefe Pernassus be,
And that my Muse to some eares not vnmeete,
Tempers hir words to trampling horses feete,
More often than a Chamber mellodie,
Now blessed you beare onwards blessed me,
To hir where my heart safeliest shall meete,
My Muse and I must you of duety greete,
With thanks and wishes wishing thankfully;
Be you still carefull kept by publike heede,
By no encrochment wrongd, nor time forgot,
Nor blam'd for bloud, nor sham'd for sinfull deede,
And that you know I enuie you no whit,
Of highest wish, I wish you so much blisse,
Hundreds of yeares you Stellas feete may kisse.
