Astrophel and Stella: 107

Stella since thou so right a Princesse artOf all the powers which life bestowes on me,That ere by them ought vndertaken be,They first resort vnto that soueraigne part;Sweete for a while giue respite to my hart,Which pants as though it still should leape to thee:And on my thoughts giue my LieftenancyTo this great cause, which needs both vse and art.And as a Queene, who from her presence sendsWhom she imployes, dismisse from thee my wit,Till it haue wrought what thy owne will attends.On seruants shame oft Maisters blame doth sit;O let not fooles in me thy workes reprooue,And scorning say, see what it is to loue.
