Analysis of SONNET ON LOVE
Thy radiance of face over me
Inspirits my virileness
May be sometimes motionless, the sea tides
My love on you never rests
When thought I, illusion, a damsel love
Discarded ye, my ignorance to vision
Smile in thy mellow lips
Miles my heart to starry skies
If thy words could console me
Like I, to be whipped by tyrannt, thy father.
Turned I, a renowned encomiast
For ye kindled my fancies
An arrow could hardly engore my heart
But killed so, by thy raunchy eyes!
