Sonet. 5.
I care not what I say nor doe,My thoughts are spent:
Since no conceite can bring me to
My heart's content:
I cannot speake and if I coulde,
It were in vaine:
And yet if that I could, I would
Reueale my payne.
But since it is to great to showe,
And I must bide it.
I leaue it to remorce to knowe,
How care doth hide it.
And sue but to those inward eyes
That see my heart,
To looke on patience how she dies:
In passion's smart.
And say what in themselues they see,
Where truth excelles:
I know the heart that honours mee
And loues none else.
