Hot sun, cool fire, tempered with sweet air, <br />Black shade, fair nurse, shadow my white hair. <br />Shine, sun; burn, fire; breathe, air, and ease me; <br />Black shade, fair nurse, shroud me and please me. <br />Shadow, my sweet nurse, keep me from burning; <br />Make not my glad cause cause of mourning. <br /> Let not my beauty's fire <br /> Inflame unstaid desire, <br /> Nor pierce any bright eye <br /> That wandereth lightly.<br /><br />George Peele<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/hot-sun-cool-fire-2/
