A SONNET OF PERILLA, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: Then did I live when I did see
Last Line: Ile live as one regenerate.


Then did I live when I did see
Perilla smile on none but me.
But (ah!) by starres malignant crost,
The life I got I quickly lost:
But yet a way there doth remaine,
For me embalm'd to live againe;
And that's to love me; in which state
Ile live as one Regenerate.
