Poem
[Pg 49] SONNET XL. Se mai foco per foco non si spense. HIS HEART IS ALL IN FLAMES, BUT HIS TONGUE IS MUTE, IN HER PRESENCE. If fire was never yet by fire subdued,If never flood fell dry by frequent rain,But, like to like, if each by other gain,And contraries are often mutual food;Love, who our thoughts controllest in each mood,Through whom two bodies thus one soul sustain,How, why in her, with such unusual strainMake the want less by wishes long renewed?Perchance, as falleth the broad Nile from high,Deafening with his great voice all nature round,And as the sun still dazzles the fix'd eye,So with itself desire in discord foundLoses in its impetuous object force,As the too frequent spur oft checks the course. Macgregor.
