Sonnet XVI

Behold thine hostage indigo eye bright

Mighty pools of blue that command the sea

Righteous as the envious morning light

For in thy gaze all worlds do turn to thee  

Fair aspect of majesty born of grace

Music of thy soul in endless measure

Whom thou do givest life in every place

Tell of shipwreck’s lost and ocean treasure

Bright stars unite within thee that is true

Whose beauty is to shine and witness bear

And storm thy heart as ardent lovers do

Tender is the kiss for thy love to share

That nations may rise and fall in thy care

When the roll tis called up yon I’ll be there.
