Amoretti: Sonnet 22 Annotated

Men to devotion ought to be inclynd:
therefore, I lykewise on so holy day,
for my sweet Saynt some service fit will find.

in which her glorious ymage placed is,
on which my thoughts doo day and night attend
lyke sacred priests that never thinke amisse.
There I to her as th'author of my blisse,

and on the same my hart will sacrifise,
burning in flames of pure and chast desyre:
The which vouchsafe O goddesse to accept,
amongst thy deerest relicks to be kept.
