Sonnet XXVIII

[Wearie with seruing where I nought could get]

Wearie with seruing where I nought could get,
I thought to crosse great Neptunes greatest Seas,
To lyue in exile; but my drift was let,
by cruell Fortune spightfull of such ease,
The Ship I had to passe in, was my minde,
greedie desire was topsaile of the same,
My teares were surges, sighes did serue for winde,
of all my Ship dispayre, was cheifest frame,
Sorrowe was Maister, care the cable rope,
griefe was the maine Mast, Loue the Captaine of it,
He that did rule the helme, was foolish hope,
but beautie was the Rocke that my ship split:
Which since hath made such shipwrack of my ioy,
That still I swim in th' Ocean of annoy.
