Of beauteous Margaret hath astonish’d me:

Her virtues graced with external gifts

Do breed love’s settled passions in my heart:

5 And like as rigour of tempestuous gusts

Provokes the mightiest hulk against the tide,

So am I driven by breath of her renown

Either to suffer shipwreck or arrive

Where I may have fruition of her love.
