Sonet. 10.
Faire eye spill me not,
Be of a better nature:
Sweet woordes kill me not,
But comforte a poore creature.
Be of a better nature:
Sweet woordes kill me not,
But comforte a poore creature.
But if yee needes will spill me,
Let it bee with loue's blindenesse:
And if yee needes will kill me,
Let it bee with loue's kindnesse.
Let it bee with loue's blindenesse:
And if yee needes will kill me,
Let it bee with loue's kindnesse.
Then shall your worth be proouéd,
In prayse's high perfection:
And in that prayse belouéd,
In fancie's deere affection.
In prayse's high perfection:
And in that prayse belouéd,
In fancie's deere affection.
And looue in honor's residence,
Shall write but of your excellence.
Shall write but of your excellence.
