HAIR, fair hair ! some of the golden threads Of which love weaves the nets that passion breeds, Where me like silly bird he doth retain. And only death can make me free again ; Ah, I you love, embrace, kiss, and adore, 5 For that ye shadow did that face before ; That face so full of beauty, grace, and love, That it hath jealous made heaven's quire above : To you I'll tell my secret thoughts and grief, Since she, dear she, can grant me no relief, 19 While me from her foul traitor absence binds. ...Witness, sweet hair, with me, how love me blinds ; For when I should seek what his force restrains, 1 foolish bear about his nets and chains. SONNETS PARAPHRASTICALLY TRANSLATED. Hair, sweet hair ! touched by Midas' hand In curling knots, of which love makes his nets, WTio when ye loosest hang me fastest band To her, world's lily among violets ; Dear fatal present, kissing I adore you, Because of late ye shade gave to these roses, That this earth's beauty in their red encloses ; I saw while ye them hid they did decore you : I'll plain my woes to you, I'll tell my thought, Alas !
