Samuel Daniel - Sonnet XXXI: Oft Do I Muse
Work rating: Low

Oft do I muse whether my Delia`s eyes 
Are eyes, or else two fair bright stars that shine; 
For how could nature ever thus devise 
Of earth on earth a substance so divine. 
Stars sure they are, whose motions rule desires, 
And calm and tempest follow their aspects; 
Their sweet appearing still such power inspires 
That makes the world admire so strange effects. 
Yet whether fixt or wand`ring stars are they, 
Whose influence rule the Orb of my poor heart; 
Fixt sure they are, but wan`ring make me stray, 
In endless errors whence I cannot part. 
Stars then, not eyes, move yet with milder view 
Your sweet aspect on him that honors you.
