Short, Sherland
When this bright starr maskt with a fleshly cloude,/ Brake through ye vaile
which did his beautie shroude,/ Although ye cloude to soone dissolving bred,/
Both winds (our sighs) & showers (ye tears we shed),/ Yet doth the starr now
shine in heaven more bright,/ And to the earth gives his example light. By
