“O blessed Letters, that combine in one
All ages past, and make one live with all:
By you we doe conferre with who are gone,
And the dead-living unto councell call:
By you th' unborne shall have communion
Of what we feele, and what doth us befall.”
Samuel Daniel

“love is a sickness full of woes,
All remedies refusing”
Samuel Daniel

“Unto the boundless Ocean of thy beauty
Runs this poor river, charged with streams of zeal:
Returning thee the tribute of my duty,
Which here my love, my youth, my plaints reveal.”
Samuel Daniel, Delia: Elizabethan Sonnet Cycle
