Sonnet XVII

Far where mine own zealous love doth abide;

Such mystery in solemn repose doth stir

Fantasy fears not the bold changing tide;

Turning obscurity’s bliss that once were

How can thy toil accept all sightless haste;

Making of thine own a ghastly image

Bearing senses blind thy soul’s bitter taste

By Jove, bestow thine moral pilgrimage

Let I in thund’rous night haste me onward

Mine tears boldly as rain and fervent be; 

Do eagerly move this story forward

Thy heart a broken jewel in treasur’d sea;

Shimmering upon the tide’s reverie

Lo! let it be known, thine I will always be.
