Sunday Sea Share #2

Happy Sunday!

"Sonnet #1:  Unto the Boundless Ocean"
by Samuel Daniel



Unto the boundless Ocean of thy beauty
Runs this poor river, charg'd with streams of zeal:
Returning thee the tribute of my duty,
Which here my love, my youth, my plaints reveal. 






Here I unclasp the book of my charg'd soul,
Where I have cast th'accounts of all my care:
Here have I summ'd my sighs, here I enroll
How they were spent for thee; look what they are.
 



Look on the dear expences of my youth,
And see how just I reckon with thine eyes:
Examine well thy beauty in my truth,
And cross my cares ere greater sums arise.
Read it, sweet maid, though it be done but slightly;
Who can show all his love, doth love but lightly.





Au Revoir,
Michelle
