To his Mistres.

I prethee Sweet to me be Kind, delight not so in Scorning

I prethee Sweet to me be Kind, delight not so in Scorning; I sue for Love; O let me find some pleasure midst my mourning! What though to you I vassal be? Let me my right inherit: Send back the Heart I gave to thee, since thine it cannot merit. So I shall to the world declare how good, how sweet and fair you are.
