Sonnet 13 (Barnfield)

Sonnet 13 by Richard Barnfield

Speake Eccho, tell; how may I call my loue? Loue.
     But how his Lamps that are so christaline? Eyne.
     Oh happy starrs that make your heauens diuine:
And happy Iems that admiration moue.
How tearm'st his golden tresses wau'd with aire? Haire.
     Oh louely haire of your more-louely Maister,
     Image of loue, faire shape of Alabaster,
Why do'st thou driue thy Louer to dispaire?
How do'st thou cal the bed wher beuty grows? Rose.
     Faire virgine-Rose, whose mayden blossoms couer
     The milke-white Lilly, thy imbracing Louer:
Whose kisses makes thee oft thy red to lose.
     And blushing oft for shame, when he hath kist thee,
     He vades away, and thou raing'st where it list thee.
