And euerie euen discends to th'oceane[°] lake;

So fierce and feruent is her radiance[°],

To stand and gaze upon her orient lamps[°],

Where Cupid all his chiefest ioyes encamps[°],

And sitts, and playes with euery atomie[°]

That in hir Sunne-beames swarme aboundantlie.

Thus gazing, and thus striuing, we perseuer[°]:
