Busy old fool, unruly Sun,
\nWhy dost thou thus,
\nThrough windows, and through curtains, call on us ?
\nMust to thy motions lovers’ seasons run ?
\nSaucy pedantic wretch, go chide
\nLate school-boys and sour prentices,
\nGo tell court-huntsmen that the king will ride,
\nCall country ants to harvest offices ;
\nLove, all alike, no season knows nor clime,
\nNor hours, days, months, which are the rags of time.<\/p>\n
Thy beams so reverend, and strong
\nWhy shouldst thou think ?
\nI could eclipse and cloud them with a wink,
\nBut that I would not lose her sight so long.
\nIf her eyes have not blinded thine,
\nLook, and to-morrow late tell me,
\nWhether both th’ Indias of spice and mine
\nBe where thou left’st them, or lie here with me.
\nAsk for those kings whom thou saw’st yesterday,
\nAnd thou shalt hear, “All here in one bed lay.”<\/p>\n
She’s all states, and all princes I ;
\nNothing else is ;
\nPrinces do but play us ; compared to this,
\nAll honour’s mimic, all wealth alchemy.
\nThou, Sun, art half as happy as we,
\nIn that the world’s contracted thus ;
\nThine age asks ease, and since thy duties be
\nTo warm the world, that’s done in warming us.
\nShine here to us, and thou art everywhere ;
\nThis bed thy center is, these walls thy sphere.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
