Joshua Sylvester



Joshua Sylvester (1563 – 28 September 1618) was an English poet.

Poem: Love's Omnipresence

 * Were I as base as is the lowly plain, And you, my Love, as high as heaven above, Yet should the thoughts of me your humble swain Ascend to heaven, in honour of my Love.


 * And look upon you with ten thousand eyes Till heaven wax'd blind, and till the world were done.
