From sullen earth) sings hymns at heaven's gate:"

and again, in sonnet the thirty-seventh,—

"As a decrepit father takes delight

To see his active child do deeds of youth,

So, I made lame by fortune's dearest spite

Take all my comfort of thy worth and truth;—

So then I am not lame, poor, nor despis'd,

Whilst that this shadow doth such substance give,

That I in thy abundance am suffic'd,

And by a part of all thy glory live."
