Canzon. 20.
[How often hath my pen mine hearts solicitour]
How often hath my pen mine hearts solicitourInstructed thee in breuiat of my case?
While fancie pleading eyes (thy beauties visitour)
Haue patternd to my quill an angels face.
How haue my Sonnets (faithfull counsellers)
Thee without ceasing mou'd for day of hearing?
While they my plaintiue cause (my faiths reuealers)
Thy long delay, my patience in thine eare-ring.
How haue I stood at barre of thine owne conscience?
When in requesting court my suite I brought.
How haue thy long adiournments slow'd the sentence,
Which I through much expence of teares besought?
Through many difficulties haue I run,
Ah sooner wert thou lost (I wis) then wonne.
