Samuel Daniel - Sonnet LIX: Unhappy Pen
Work rating: Low

Unhappy pen and ill-accepted papers, 
That intimate in vain my chaste desires, 
My chaste desires, the ever-burning tapers 
Enkindled by her eyes` celestial fires. 
Celestial fires and unrespecting powers, 
That deign not view the glory of your might 
In humble lines, the work of carefull hours, 
The sacrifice I offer to her sight. 
But sith she scorns her own, this rests for me; 
I`ll moan myself and hide the wrong I have, 
And so content me that her frowns should be 
To my`infant style the cradle and the grave. 
What though myself no honor get thereby, 
Each bird sings t`herself, and so will I.
