Astrophil and Stella, Sonnet 66

And do I see some cause a hope to feed,

Or doth the tedious burden of long woe
In weakened minds, quick apprehension breed,
Of every image which may comfort show?
      I cannot brag of word, much less of deed;
Fortune wheels still with me in one sort slow:
My wealth no more, and no whit less my need,
Desire still on the stilts of fear doth go.
      And yet amid all fears a hope there is
Stol’n to my heart, since last fair night, nay day,
Stella’s eyes sent to me the beams of bliss,
Looking on me, while I looked other way:
But when mine eyes back to their heaven did move,
They fled with blush, which guilty seemed of love.
