Sonnet. 3.
[That death that despises at all kinde of beautie]
That death that despises at all kinde of beautie,And would make all loue, goe into Charons passage:
Would haue hit the eyes, wherein I liue in seruage:
The eyes both to fayre, and too full of crueltie.
But Cupid that styll in those eyes was indompted:
The infant knew well, where after this death sought:
And began to crie (death) if thou ende thy thought,
We shall neither of vs, be againe redoubted.
But (death) if thout let me liue in these eyes styll:
Thou shalt see (O then) how nobelly I wyll.
And yet in these eyes, I conquer all the world:
Death hearing this, let him liue styll in the syght:
Fro whence he shewteth such sharpe arrowes of gold.
