Quicke prevention. [Sonnet VII]
Loe in the Orient when the gracious light,
Lifts up his burning head, each under eye
Doth homage to his new appearing sight,
Serving with lookes his sacred majestie,
And having climb'd the steepe up heavenly hill,
Resembling strong youth in his middle age,
Yet mortall lookes adore his beautie still,
Attending on his golden pilgrimage:
But when from high-most pitch with weary care,
Like feeble age he reeleth from the day,
The eyes (fore dutious) now converted are
From his low tract and looke another way:
  So thou, thy selfe out-going in thy noon:
  Vnlok'd on diest unlesse thou get a sonne.
