Bethsabe's Song

Hot sun, cool fire, tempered with sweet air,

Black shade, fair nurse, shadow my white hair:

Shine, sun; burn, fire; breathe, air and ease me;

Black shade, fair nurse, shroud me and please me:

Shadow, my sweet nurse, keep me from burning,

Make not my glad cause cause of mourning.

            Let not my beauty's fire

            Inflame unstaid desire,

            Nor pierce any bright eye

            That wandereth lightly.

– George Peele (1599)
