I am full resolvedThose bands, alas! shall not be dissolved;Nor break my word, though reward come late;Nor fail my faith in my failing fate;Nor change in change, though change change my state: But always own myself, with eagle-eyed Truth, to flyUp to the sun, although the sun my wings do fry;For if those flames burn my desire, Yet shall I die in Phoenix' fire.
POEM: ODE When, to my deadly pleasure, When to my lively torment, Lady, mine eyes remainedJoined, alas! to your beams.
With violence of ...heavenlyBeauty, tied to virtue;Reason abashed retired;Gladly my senses yielded.
Gladly my senses yielding, Thus to betray my heart's fort, Left me devoid of all life.
They to the beamy suns went, Where, by the death of all deaths, Find to what harm they hastened.
Like to the silly Sylvan, Burned by the light he best liked, When with a fire he first met.
Yet, yet, a life to their death, Lady you have reserved;Lady the life of all love.
For though my sense be from me, And I be dead, who want sense, Yet do we both live in you.
