And from the forlorn world his visage hide,

Stealing unseen to West with this disgrace:

Even so my sun one early morn did shine

With all triumphant splendour on my brow;

But out, alack! he was but one hour mine;

The region cloud hath mask'd him from me now.

Yet him for this my love no whit disdaineth;

Suns of the world may stain when heaven's sun staineth.

This is night in Venus and Adonis:

Look! the world's comforter with weary gait
