Digitized by VjOOQ LC 62 Stirling s Poems. SONET LIII. If now, cleare Po, that pittie be not spent, Which for to quench his flames did once thee moue, Whom the great thunderer thundred from aboue, And to thy siluer bosome burning sent, To pitie his coequall be content; That in effect doth the like fortune proue, Throwne headlong from the highest heau'ns of loue: Here burning on thy borders I lament, The successe did not second my dissigne, Yet must I like my generous intent, Which cannot be con...demn* d by the euent, That fault was fortune's, though the losse be mine; And by my fall I shall be honour'd oft, My fall doth witnesse I was once aloft. SONET LIV. Great god that guides the dolphin through the deepe, Looke now as thou didst then wkh smiling grace, When, seeking once her beauties to embrace, Thou forc'd the faire Amimone to weepe : The liquid monarchic thou canst not keepe, If thus the blustring god vsurp thy place; Rise and against his blasts erect thy face; Let Triton's trumpet sound the seas asleepe, With thine own armes the wind thy bosome wounds, And whilst that it thy followers' fall contriues, Thy trident to indanger dayly striues, And desolate would render all thy bounds : Then if thou think'st for to preserue thy state, Let not such stormes disturb thy watrie seate.
