By celestial shores is there burnished gold More fair than I see in my lover's eyes, Or seraphs whose pulchritude to behold Nears my queen's opalescence of the skies? For though I know days will fade into night, And nights will evermore melt into day, But my love, like as hues of the sun's light That ever glows the same, so shall it stay With constance like as tides of gushing time That neither man nor birds of skies above Can dare grasp, but watch 'em roll clime to clime. So, as far as lives time, so shalt my love,
For like as water doth abound the sea, So doth her love upon a heart of mine.
