SONNET TO HIS
LUTE
My lute, be as thou wert when thou didst grow
With thy green mother in some shaily grove, When inmelodious winds but made thee move, And birds their ramage did on thee bestow. Since that dear voice which did thy sounds approve, Which wont in such harmonious strains to flow, Is reft from earth to tune the spheres above, -Wigrant thoir buru harbinger of woe?
Thy pleasing notes be pleasing notes no more,
But orphan wailings to the fainting car;
Each stroke a sigh, each sound draws forthatear;
For which be silent as in woods before:
Or if that any hand to touch thee deign,
Like widow'd turtle still her loss complain..
