Sonnet XXXV

As winds do change so bend the knee of saints,

Where gratitude’s treasured troves hath been stored

In vaults feeble recounting thy complaints

Of sinking ships, whose lost course, once adored

Until melancholy squall storms thy heart,

And love doth surely to sunless depths sink

That dissonant drums do fade and depart

Muffling dreams and striking chords on the brink

Yet, floating upon seas of joy all dare,

For love is a tempest robust in might,

And royal sails uplifted vessels wear

So, for whom this promise live doth fight

I thy valiant servant, Sun’s splendid knight

Will thine path at sea be thy guiding light.
