Joshua Sylvester (2)Additional Sources
Were I as base as is the lowly plain (attributed to Sylvester)
Were you the earth, dear Love, and I the skies,
My love should shine on you like to the Sun,
And look upon you with ten thousand eyes,
Till heaven wax'd blind, and till the world were done.
Whereso'er I am,—below, or else above you—
Whereso'er you are, my heart shall truly love you.
My love should shine on you like to the Sun,
And look upon you with ten thousand eyes,
Till heaven wax'd blind, and till the world were done.
Whereso'er I am,—below, or else above you—
Whereso'er you are, my heart shall truly love you.
Joshua Sylvester (1561–1618), British poet, translator. Were I as base as is the lowly plain (attributed to Sylvester) (l. 9–14). . .
