Stanza 1

Stanza 2. Thy beams so reverend, and strong

Why shouldst thou thin?........ And thou shalt hear, "All here in one bed lay.

Challenging the sunTreasures of India Kings Sun would be dazzled.

Stanza 3

She’s all states, and all princes I; Nothing else is;………. This bed thy center is, these walls thy sphere.

All nationNothing compares to his lover

Giving light whole worldNot accept worldly rule and regulation set by the sun

you…
