Thou didst delight my eyes: Yet who am I? nor first Nor last nor best, that durst Once dream of thee for prize; Nor this the only time Thou shalt set love to rhyme. Thou didst delight my ear: Ah! little praise; thy voice Makes other hearts rejoice Makes all ears glad that hear; And short my joy: but yet, O song, do not forget. For what wert thou to me? How shall I say? The moon, That pour'd her midnight noon Upon his wrecking sea; A sail, that for a day Has cheered the castaway.
