Now winking like my candle, doth deny

To guide my hand, if it had aught to write;

Nor can I make my drowsy sense indite

Which by your verses' music (as a spell

Sent from the Sybellean Oracle)

Is charm'd and bound in wonder and delight,

10Faster than all the leaden chains of night.

What pity is it then you should so ill

Employ the bounty of your flowing quill,

As to expend on him your bedward thought,
