- 1 Lo in the orient when the gracious light
- 2 Lifts up his burning head, each under eye
- 3 Doth homage to his new-appearing sight,
- 4 Serving with looks his sacred majesty,
- 5 And having climbed the steep-up heavenly hill,
- 6 Resembling strong youth in his middle age,
- 7 Yet mortal looks adore his beauty still,
- 8 Attending on his golden pilgrimage:
- 9 But when from highmost pitch with weary car,
- 10 Like feeble age he reeleth from the day,
- 11 The eyes (fore duteous) now converted are
- 12 From his low tract and look another way:
- 13 So thou, thyself out-going in thy noon:
- 14 Unlooked on diest unless thou get a son.
