I never, yet, did murmuringly complaine, Although those Moones have long been in the Waine, Which on their Silver Shields, my Elders wore, In Battels, and in Triumphs, heretofore. Nor any mention have I ever made, Of such Eclipses, as those Crescents had; Thereby, to move some Comet, to reflect His fading-light, or daigne his good aspect. For, when I tell the World, how ill I fare, I tell her too, how little I doe care, For her despights : yea, and I tell it not, That, helpe, or pitie, might from her be got; But, rather, that her Favourites may see, I know my Waynings, yet, can pleased bee. My Light, is from the Planet of the Sunne ; And, though the Course, which I obliquely runne, Oft brings my outward Fortunes to the Waine, My Light shall, one day, bee renew'd againe. Yea, though to some, I quite may seeme to lose My Light ; because, my follies Interpose Their shadowes to eclipse it: yet, I know, My Crescents, will increase, and fuller, grow. Assoone as in the Flesh, I beeing had, I mooved on in Courses retrograde, And, thereby lost my Splendor : but, I feele Soft motions, from that great Eternall Wheele, Which mooveth all things, sweetly mooving mee, To gaine the Place, in which I ought to bee: And, when to Him, I backe returne, from whom At first I came, I shall at Full become.
