Philip Sidney - Sonnet 103: Oh Happy Thames
Work rating: Low

Oh happy Thames, that didst my Stella bear, 
I saw thyself with many a smiling line 
Upon thy cheerful face, Joy`s livery wear, 
While those fair planets on thy streams did shine. 

The boat for joy could not to dance forbear, 
While wanton winds with beauties so divine 
Ravish`d, stay`d not, till in her golden hair 
They did themselves (oh sweetest prison) twine. 

And fain those Aeol`s youth there would their stay 
Have mde, but, forc`d by Nature still to fly, 
First did with puffing kiss those locks display: 

She so dishevel`d, blush`d; from window I 
With sight thereof cried out; oh fair disgrace, 
Let Honor self to thee grant highest place.
