SONNET.
VVHen I entreat, either thou wilt not hear,Or else my suit arriving at thy earCools and dies there. A strange extremitieTo freeze ith' Sun, and in the shade to frie.Whil'st all my blasted hopes decline so soon,Tis Evening with me, though at high Noon.
For pity to thy self, if not to meThink time will ravish, what I lose, from thee.If my scorcht heart wither through thy delay,Thy beauty withers too. And swift decay
descriptionPage 20
Arrests thy Youth. So thou whil'st I am slightedWilt be too soon with age or sorrow nighted.
