To start into her face, a thousand innocent shames
In angel whiteness beat away those blushes,
And in her eye there hath appeared a fire

But thy unkindess shall his death draw out
To ling'ring sufferance.

I ask, that I might waken reverence,

I ask, that I might waken reverence,
And bid the cheek be ready with a blush
Modest as morning when she coldly eyes
The youthful Phoebus,
Which is that god in office, guiding men?

Are opening roses in the lily's bed.
