William Cowper - Sonnet V. (Translated From Milton)
Work rating: Low

Lady! It cannot be, but that thine eyes
   Must be my sun, such radiance they display
   And strike me ev`n as Phoebus him, whose way
   Through torrid Libya`s sandy desert lies.
Meantime, on that side steamy vapours rise 
   Where most I suffer. Of what kind are they,
   New as to me they are, I cannot say,
   But deem them, in the Lover`s language--sighs.
Some, though with pain, my bosom close conceals,
   Which, if in part escaping thence, they tend 
   To soften thine, they coldness soon congeals.
While others to my tearful eyes ascend,
   Whence my sad nights in show`rs are ever drown`d,
   `Till my Aurora comes, her brow with roses bound.
